Major components of the xSeries 235 Type 8671 server
The orange color on components and labels in your server identifies hot-swap or
hot-plug components. You can install or remove hot-swap or hot-plug components
while the system is running, provided that your system is configured to support this
function. For complete information about installing or removing a hot-swap or
hot-plug component, see the detailed information in Chapter 2, “Installing options”,
on page 9.
The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points where a
component can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on.
The following illustration shows the major components in your server.

8 Off 400 MHz system board - Reserved. 533 MHz system board - Disable Wake on LAN
after ac power-on.
7 Off Power-on override. When toggled to On, this switch forces the server to turn on,
overriding the power-on button.
6 Off Power-on password override. Changing the position of this switch bypasses the
power-on password check the next time the server is turned on and starts the
Configuration/Setup Utility program so that you can change or delete the power-on
password. You do not need to move the switch back to the default position after the
password is overridden.
Changing the position of this switch does not affect the administrator password
check, if an administrator password is set.
See the User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for additional
information about the power-on password.
