Switch 1 (EN RMC)—Set this switch to OFF (disable) if you want to
reset the baud rate of the COM1 port to a value other than the system
default of 9600. You must disable RMC to select a baud rate other than
9600.
Switch 3 (RPD DIS). Set this switch to ON (disable) if you want to
disable the poweroff command. With poweroff disabled, the monitored
system cannot be powered down from the RMC.
Switch 4 (SET DEF). Set this switch to ON (enable) if you want to
reset the RMC to the factory settings. See the section "Resetting the
RMC to Factory Defaults."
The RMC switches are numbered on the server feature module. The default
positions are shown in Figure 10-5. To change a switch setting:
Turn off the system.
1. Unplug the AC power cords.
NOTE: If you do not unplug the power cords, the new setting will not take effect when
you power up the system.
2. Remove the system covers.
3. Locate the RMC switch pack on the server feature module and change
the switch setting as desired.
4. Replace the system covers and plug in the power cords.
5. Power up the system to the SRM console prompt and type the escape
sequence to enter RMC command mode, if desired.
