4-36 Using Your NEC Versa
SETTING SWITCHES
A six-position dip switch is located next to the hard disk drive connector in
the hard disk drive bay. The following lists each switch setting and its
special function.
NOTE
Switch settings 3, 4 and 6 are reserved for NEC factory use
only.
Switch 1, BIOS Flash Protection Switch — The default setting is “ON.”
Change the setting to “OFF” when you need to update your system’s ba-
sic input/output system (or BIOS) flash memory. See “Updating the
System BIOS”, to complete this procedure.
Switch 2, Password Override Switch — The default setting is “OFF.”
For example, if you forget your password and cannot access the data on
your NEC Versa, change the setting to “ON” to erase this password and
requires you to enter a new one.
To enter a new password, reset the switch to “OFF,” and follow the in-
structions in Chapter 3, “Using Setup,” to set up a new password. You
may want to keep this new password in a special place so that you don’t
forget it again!
Switch 3 — Reserved for factory use.
Switch 4 — Reserved for factory use.
Switch 5 — Not used.
Switch 6 — Reserved for factory use.
