Server component identification 69
System board switches
Some server operations, including adding or removing a component or changing a security feature, require that you
reconfigure a system switch. If the system configuration is incorrect, the server might not work properly and you might
receive error messages on the screen. Setting and checking the system board switches is an important part of the
overall troubleshooting process.
The server has three switch banks:
• System maintenance switch (SW3)
• System ID switch (SW4)
• iLO/Redundant ROM override switch (SW5)
This section provides figures and tables to identify the locations, positions, functions, and settings for each of these
switches.
