Location/Component Layout

Switch definitions and positions are as follows:

Switches 1 through 4 – For Cabletron Systems use only.

Switch 5 – COM Port Autobaud. The default (OFF) position enables Autobaud sensing on the COM port for Local Management sessions. Changing the switch to the ON position disables Autobaud sensing and sets the COM port to 9600 baud for Local Management sessions.

Switch 6 – Forced BootP. Changing the position of this switch (i.e., moving the switch from one position to the other) clears download information from NVRAM and forces the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 to download a new image file from a BootP server after power to the chassis is restored, or the RESET button is pressed.
