System-board switches

Use this information to locate the system-board switches.

The following illustration shows the location of the switch block on the system board.

The following table describes the functions of the switches on switch block SW3.

Switch numberDescriptionSwitch settingDefinition
U52-1Password overrideThe default position Open.Changing this switch to the Closed position overrides the power-on password.
U52-2Trusted Platform Module (TPM) physical presenceThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the Closed position indicates a physical presence to the TPM.
U52-3Real time clock (RTC) resetThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the Closed position resets the RTC. A momentary toggle is all that is required. To avoid excessive CMOS battery drain, do not leave this switch in the Closed position.
U52-4Boot backup IMM2The default position is Open.When the switch is in the default Open position, the compute node will boot by using the primary IMM2 firmware. When the switch is in the Closed position, the compute node will boot by using a backup of the IMM2 firmware.
U52-5Boot backup UEFIThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the Closed position forces the compute node to boot from the backup UEFI image.
U52-6IMM force updateThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the Closed position bypasses the operational firmware image and performs a IMM firmware update, if the normal firmware update procedure results in an inoperative IMM.
Note
Use this jumper only if the normal firmware update procedure fails and the operational firmware image is corrupted. Use of this jumper disables normal baseboard management controller operation.
U52-7Wake on LAN (WOL) disableThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the Closed position disables WOL.
U52-8Real time management module (RTMM) flash bypassThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the Closed position forces the compute node to use RTMM ROM instead of flash.
U9020-1Asynchronous reset to configuration logic of FPGAThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the Closed position resets FPGA Configuration Logic
U9020-2Power permissionThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the closed position enables WOL and the front panel button.
U9020-3FPGA mux enableThe default position is Open.Changing this switch to the closed position to enable the FPGA MUX keyboard controls
