the options in the Maintenance menu, you can disable the menu.

where slot-number is 0 on an EX3200 switch or a standalone EX4200 switch or the
member ID of the member switch on a Virtual Chassis.

If you disable the Maintenance menu while navigating through the menu options,
exit the menu to return the LCD to the idle mode.
