When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to erase all system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM. CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure to properly configure the server or data loss could occur. NMI jumper The NMI jumper allows administrators to perform a memory dump before performing a hard reset. Crash dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems, such as hangs or crashes in OSs, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes can freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset. Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause analysis. Systems running Microsoft® Windows® experience a blue-screen trap when the OS crashes. When this happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators perform an NMI event by temporarily shorting the NMI header with a jumper. The NMI event enables a hung system to become responsive again. Component identification 11
