The following table describes the functions of the SW3 switch block on the system board.
Switch number | Default position | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Off | Reserved. |
2 | Off | Power-on password override. Changing the position of this switch bypasses the power-on password check the next time the server is turned on and starts the Setup Utility so that you can change or delete the power-on password. You do not have to move the switch back to the default position after the power-on password in overridden. Changing the position of this switch does not affect the administrator password check if an administrator password is set. See the user security section in Setup Utility menu choices for additional information about passwords. |

Force NMI button | This button is on the rear of the server. Press this button to force a nonmaskable interrupt to the microprocessor. You might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper clip to press the button. You can also use it to force a blue-screen memory dump (use this button only when you are directed to do so by Lenovo Support). |
