The following illustration shows the location of the switches on the system board.
Note
If there is a clear protective sticker on the top of the switch blocks, remove and discard it to access the switches.

Important
Before changing any switch settings or move any jumpers, turn off the server; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables. Review the following information:
- Any system-board switch or jumper block that is not shown in the illustrations in this document are reserved.
The following table describes the switches on the system board.
