The following illustrations show the location of the switches, jumpers, and buttons on the server.

Note
If there is a clear protective sticker on the top of the switch blocks, you must remove and discard it to access the switches.
Important
  1. Before you change any switch settings or move any jumpers, turn off the server; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables. Review the following information:

  2. Any system-board switch or jumper block that is not shown in the illustrations in this document are reserved.
