7 to 8 Off Reserved.
6 Off Power-on password override. Changing the position of this switch bypasses the
power-on password check if the switch setting has been changed since the server
was last powered on. 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 “Power-on password” on page 16 for additional information about the power-on
password.
1 to 5 Off Reserved.
The following illustration shows the location of the flash ROM page-swap jumper
(J50) on the system board. When this jumper is moved to the non-default position,
it recovers the server BIOS code (see “Recovering the BIOS code” on page 37).
The default position is pins 1 and 2.

Notes:
1. Before changing any switch settings or moving any jumpers, turn off the server;
then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
2. Any system-board switch or jumper blocks that are not shown in the illustrations
in this book are reserved.
