2 System Board

Devices on the ISA Bus

	System Board Switches
	Five of the system board switches (whose location is shown on page 20) set
	the working frequencies for the computer, as summarized on page 31. The
	others set the configuration for the computer, as summarized in the table on
	the next page.
Switch		Functions of the System Board Switches
1-4,7-8		Bus frequencies (see the table on page 31)
		Password:
5		Open = enabled (default)
		Closed = disabled / clear User and Administrator passwords
		Clear CMOS:
6		Open = normal (default)
		Closed = clear CMOS (to reload the Setup program defaults)
		Keyboard space-bar power-on:
9		Open = disabled
		Closed = enabled (default)
		Product identification:
10		Open = normal operation (default)
		Closed = clear the product identification field in the CMOS memory
	By setting switch SW6 in the Closed position, not only is the configuration
	data cleared (in the CMOS memory and the Serial EEPROM), but also all the
	Plug-and-Play data that had been saved in the Serial EEPROM. However,
	the serial number, the tattooing string, the date and the time are each
	retained.
	By setting switch SW9 in the Closed position, the Power-On Space-Bar
	function is enabled. Note, though, that it must also be enabled in the
	Power-OnSpace-Barfield of the Power Menu in the Setup program.
	Turning the computer on, with switch SW10 in the Closed position, clears
	the product identification field in the BIOS, and causes the computer to
	prompt for the new information. By identifying the product correctly (after
	replacing a defective system board by a new one), the BIOS is able to tailor
	itself for the particular product, and to enable the appropriate features.
