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

operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes 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® operating systems experience a blue screen trap when the

operating system crashes. When this happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators

perform an NMI event by pressing a dump switch. The NMI event enables a hung system to become

responsive again.

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.
