System-board switches
The following illustrations show the location of the switches, jumpers, and buttons on the server.
Important:
1.  Before you change any switch settings or move any jumpers, turn off the server; then, disconnect all 
power cords and external cables. Review the following information:
⢠ https://pubs.lenovo.com/safety_documentation/
⢠ āInstallation Guidelinesā, āHandling static sensitive devicesā, and āPower off the server ā in User 
Guide or Hardware Maintenance Guide.
2.  Any system-board switch or jumper block that is not shown in the illustrations in this document are 
reserved.
Note: If there is a clear protective sticker on the top of the switch blocks, you must remove and discard it to 
access the switches.
