6OffForce XCC backup bank. Changing the position of the switch to ON will force the system to boot from the backup XCC bank.
7OffPower-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 Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager 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 is overridden.

Changing the position of this switch does not affect the administrator password check if an administrator password is set.
