SW3-3 (IPMI Flash Write Protect)
Closing this switch write-protects the IPMI firmware flash memory. Opening the switch allows
IPMI firmware updates. This switch must be open when using an update utility.

SW3-4 (Drone Mode Reset)
Use this switch to configure the ZT 5504 to accept backplane PCI resets when in drone mode.
When SW3-4 is closed, the ZT 5504 is reset when the system master CPU issues a PCI reset.
When open, the ZT 5504 does not respond to system master PCI resets.

SW4-1, SW4-2, SW4-3 (Software Configuration)
These switch segments provide configuration information to the user's software. The
Monitor register
(Port E3h Bits 0-3) monitors the status of SW4 segments as listed below. An
open switch reads back a 0; a closed switch reads back a 1. The factory default is open. The
switch segments correspond to register bits as follows:
SW4-1 = Bit 0;
SW4-2 = Bit 1;
SW4-4 (Console Redirection)
Console Redirection provides a serial communication link (through COM1 or COM2) between a
terminal or terminal emulation program and the ZT 5504. This feature requires specific
parameters to be set in the BIOS Setup utility before configuring SW4-4.
