Description

 

 

Power-on password override (J9)

The default position is pins 1 and 2. Change the position of this

 

jumper to pins 2 and 3 to bypass the power-on password check.

 

Changing the position of this jumper does not affect the

 

administrator password check if an administrator password is set. If

 

the administrator password is lost, the operator information panel

 

must be replaced.

 

For more information about passwords, see “Passwords” on page

 

62.

 

 

Boot recovery (BIOS) (J14)

The default position is pins 1 and 2 (use the primary page during

 

startup). Move the jumper to pins 2 and 3 to use the secondary

 

page during startup.

 

 

Wake on LAN® bypass (J15)

The default position is pins 1 and 2. Move the jumper to pins 2 and

 

3 to prevent a Wake on LAN packet from waking the system when

 

the system is in the powered-off state.
