Switch numberDefault positionDescription
1OffPower-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 Setup utility 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 in overridden.

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

See Passwords for additional information about passwords.

Button nameFunction
NMI buttonThis button is on the rear of the standard I/O book. Press this button to force a nonmaskable interrupt to the microprocessor.
