DIP Switch Settings—AGeneralExplanation

Server Module Board DIP Switch

Disabling a Forgotten Password

This section provides detailed information about the sever-module board DIP switch settings. It also provides some basic information on switches and

describes the connectors on the various boards in the system.

DIP Switch Settings—AGeneralExplanation

DIP switches provide a convenient and reversible way of reconfiguring the circuitry on a printed circuit board. When reconfiguring the system, you may need to

change DIP switch settings on circuit boards or drives.



DIP Switches

DIP switches are small blocks on a circuit board with one or more slide switches emerging from them. Each slide switch on the DIP switch is designated by a

number. To change a DIP switch setting, move the appropriate slide switch to either the "on" or "off" position. FigureA-1 shows an example of a DIP switch.

Figure A-1. Example DIP Switch

FigureA-2 shows the location and default settings of the sever-module board DIP switch. See TableA-1 for information about the DIP switch designations,

default settings, and functions.

Server Module Board DIP Switch



FigureA-2 shows the location of the configuration DIP switch on the server module board. TableA-1 lists the settings for the DIP switch.

Figure A-2. Server Module Board DIP Switch

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as

authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not

authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

NOTE: FigureA-2 is oriented as viewed from the front of the server module.

Disabling a Forgotten Password

The server module's software security features include a system password and a setup password, which are discussed in detail in "Using the System Setup

Program" in your User's Guide. The password switch 1 on the configuration DIP switch enables these password features or disables them and clears any

password(s) currently in use.



1. Remove the server module. See "Removing a Server Module" in "Installing System Options."



2. Open the server module. See "Opening the Server Module" in "Installing System Options."

4. Use a small plastic scribe to move the password switch 1 to the "off" position. 
 
See FigureA-3 to locate the password switch 1 on the server module board. 

5. If you removed a daughter card from the server module board, reinstall it. See "Installing a Daughter Card" in "Installing System Options." 
 

6. Close the server module. See "Closing the Server Module" in "Installing System Options." 
 

7. Install the server module. See "Installing a Server Module" in "Installing System Options." 
 
When the server module is on, the power-on indicator is solid green. Allow the server module to finish booting. 
The existing passwords are not disabled (erased) until the system boots with the password switch 1 to the "off" position. However, before you assign a 
new system and/or setup password, you must move the password switch 1 to the "on" position. 

8. Remove the server module. See "Removing a Server Module" in "Installing System Options." 
 

9. Open the server module. See "Opening the Server Module" in "Installing System Options." 
 

10. If a daughter card is installed on the server module board, remove the daughter card. See "Removing a Daughter Card" in "Installing System Options." 
 

11. Use a small plastic scribe to move the password switch 1 to the "on" position. 
 
See FigureA-2 to locate the password switch 1 on the server module board. 

12. If you removed a daughter card from the server module board, reinstall it. See "Installing a Daughter Card" in "Installing System Options."

lUse Category 5 or greater wiring and connectors.

lDo not exceed a cable run length (from a workstation to a hub) of 100 m (328 ft).

For detailed guidelines on operation of a network, see "Systems Considerations of Multi-Segment Networks" in the IEEE 802.3 standard.

Fibre Channel Pass-through Module and Fiber Channel Switch Module

The system's Fibre channel pass-through and switch module's Short Wave Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports provide fast communications between

servers and workstations. The ports do not contain pins and pin signals—they each contain an optical transceiver for the optical cable. See FigureB-8.

NOTICE: To avoid line interference, voice and data lines must be in separate sheaths.

NOTE: The cable used for the analog rack interface port is limited to 15.24 m (50 ft).
