SW4 switch block
The following table describes the functions of the SW4 switch block on the system board assembly.
| Switch number | Default position | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Off | When the switch is in the default Off position, the server will boot by using the primary XClarity Controller firmware. Change this switch to the On position, to enable the server to boot by using a backup of the XClarity Controller firmware. |
| 2 | Off | Changing this switch to the On position to bypass the operational firmware image and performs a BMC firmware update, if the normal firmware update procedure results in an inoperative BMC. 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. |
