NOTE:
Use of the NMI button is not supported in all NOS. As of the present, NMI implementation is
not available for systems running on Solaris and Linux operating systems.
Clear CMOS button (SW5)
The system board has a system configuration (CMOS) button (SW5). To clear system configuration,
remove AC power and press the CMOS button for seconds.
