UID/BMC Reset Switch and UID_LED/BMC LED Indicator
A UID LED/BMC Reset switch (JUIDB1) is located on the rear I/O panel of the motherboard.
This switch has dual purposes. It can be used as a unit identier (UID) for the user to identify
a system unit that is in need of service, and it can also be used to reset the BMC settings.
When functioning as a BMC reset switch, JUIDB1 will trigger a cold reboot when the user
presses and holds the switch for 6 seconds. It will also restore the BMC settings to the
manufacturer defaults when the user presses and holds the switch for 12 seconds.
When functioning as a UID LED switch, JUIDB1 will turn on and o the UID_LED1/LEDBMC
indicator, which works as a UID LED and a BMC Reset LED, when the user presses the
switch on/o. In addition, UID can also be triggered via BMC on the motherboard.
The UID/BME Reset switch (JUIDB1) works in conjunction with UID_LED1/LEDBMC LED
indicator to achieve dual purposes for unit identication and BMC reset. Refer to the BMC
User's Guide posted on our website at http://www.supermicro.com for more information.
