ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide
3-7
Switch definitions are as follows:
•
Switch 1 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 2 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 3 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 4 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 5 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 6 - Forced Download. Changing the state of this switch (i.e.,
moving the switch from one position to the other) clears download
information from NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory)
and forces a BOOTP/TFTP download.
After changing the switch 6 position and restarting the ESX, the ESX
requests a new image download until it either receives a new image
from the BOOTP server or the RESET button on the front panel is
pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the ESX continues trying
to contact a BOOTP server, but will timeout in approximately one
minute. If the ESX times out, the image is loaded from its FLASH
memory.
•
Switch 7 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 8 - Password Defaults. Changing the state of this switch clears
user-entered community names stored in NVRAM, and restores the
default settings. Once the ESX is reset, the community names can
either be reentered or the default settings (“public” or <Return>) may
be used.
NOTE
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to
reset the ESX community names to their factory default
settings.
