is not currently used by the Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller. Press this button only when
directed by the Cisco TAC personnel.
• Checkpoint code display: This display provides a checkpoint code that indicates the point at which
the system stopped during the boot block and POST. A checkpoint code is either a byte or a word
