number Default position Description

3 Off Power-on override. When this switch is toggled to
On and then to Off, you force a power-on which
overrides the power-on and power-off button on the
server and they become nonfunctional.
4 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 Setup utility so that you can change or
delete the power-on password. You do not have to
move the switch back to the default position after
the power-on password in overridden.
Changing the position of this switch does not affect
the administrator password check if an
administrator password is set.
See “Passwords” on page 305 for additional
