System maintenance switch

Position Default Function

Off = iLO 2 security is enabled.
S1 Off
On = iLO 2 security is disabled.
Off = System configuration can bechanged.
S2 Off
On = System configuration is locked.
S3 Off Reserved
S4 Off Reserved
Off = Power-on password is enabled.
S5 Off
On = Power-on password is disabled.
Off = No function.
S6 Off
On = Clear NVRAM.
S7 - Reserved
S8 - Reserved
S9 - Reserved
S10 - Reserved

When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to erase allsystem configuration settings
from both CMOS and NVRAM.

CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure toproperly configure the server or data loss
could occur.

Battery pack LEDs

Item Color Description

1 Green System Power LED. This LED glows steadily when thesystem is powered up and 12 V system power isavailable. This power
supply is used to maintain thebattery charge and provide supplementary power to thecache microcontroller.
2 Green Auxiliary Power LED. This LED glows steadily when 3.3Vauxiliary voltage is detected. The auxiliary voltage is usedto preserve
BBWC data and is available any time that thesystem power cords are connected to a power supply.
3 Amber Battery Health LED. To interpret the illumination patterns ofthis LED, see the following table.
4 Green BBWC Status LED. To interpret the illumination patterns ofthis LED, see the following table.

absence of auxiliarypower, battery power alone preserves the data. A fully-chargedbattery can normally preserve
data for at least 2 days.The battery lifetime also depends on the cache module size.

FBWC module LEDs

The FBWC module has two single-color LEDs (green and amber). The LEDs are duplicated on the reverse sideof the cache module to
facilitate status viewing.
