System-board switches

Use this information to locate the system-board switches.

The following illustration shows the location of the switch blocks on the system board.


System-board switches

The following table describes the functions of the switches.

Four column table.

Switch numberDescriptionSwitch settingDefinition
SW8110-1Password overrideThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position overrides the power-on password.
SW8110-2UEFI TPMThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position indicates a physical presence to the TPM.
SW8110-3Real time clock (RTC) resetThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position resets the RTC. A momentary toggle is all that is required. To avoid excessive CMOS battery drain, do not leave this switch in the on position.
SW8110-4Boot backup IMM2The default position is off.When the switch is in the default off position, the compute node will boot by using the primary IMM2 firmware. When the switch is in the on position, the compute node will boot by using a backup of the IMM2 firmware.
SW8110-5Boot backup UEFIThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position forces the compute node to boot from the backup UEFI image.
SW8110-6IMM force updateThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position bypasses the operational firmware image and performs a IMM firmware update, if the normal firmware update procedure results in an inoperative IMM.
Note
Use this switch only if the normal firmware update procedure fails and the operational firmware image is corrupted. Use of this switch disables normal baseboard management controller operation.
SW8110-7IMM SPI ROM Chip SelectThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position forces the compute node to select system SPI ROM0 or ROM1.
SW8110-8Real time management module (RTMM) flash bypassThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position forces the compute node to use RTMM ROM instead of flash.
SW8111-1Reset FPGA Configuration LogicThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position forces the compute node to reset the FPGA configuration logic.
SW8111-2IMMv2 ResetThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position forces the compute node to reset the IMM.
SW8111-3ME Flash descriptor security overrideThe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position forces the compute node to override security in the flash descriptor.
SW8111-4Boot Backup METhe default position is off.Changing this switch to the on position forces the compute node to boot from the backup ME.
