Table 6 describes the function of each switch on the switch block.

8 Off Reserved.
7 Off Power-on override. When toggled to On, this switch forces the server to turn on,
overriding the power-on button.
6 Off Power-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
Configuration/Setup Utility program so that you can change or delete the power-on
password. You do not need to move the switch back to the default position after the
password is overridden.
Changing the position of this switch does not affect the administrator password check
if an administrator password is set.
See “Choices available from the Configuration/Setup main menu” on page 12 for
additional information about the power-on password.

Notes:
1. Before changing any switch settings or moving any jumpers, make sure the
server is turned and that all power cords and external cables are disconnected.
(Review the information in “Installation guidelines” on page 41, “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 42, and “Safety information” on page 163.)
2. Any system-board switch or jumper blocks that are not shown in the illustrations
in this book are reserved.
