UID (Unit Idenfication)/BMC Reset Switch and UID/BMC Reset LED Indicators
A UID LED/BMC Reset switch (JUIDB1) is located on the rear side of the motherboard. This
switch has dual functions. It can be used to identify a system unit that is in need of service,
and it can also be used to reset the BMC settings.
When functioning as a UID LED switch, it can turn the UID LED (UID_LED1) on and off to
identify a unit that may require service.
When functioning as a BMC reset switch and working in conjunction with BMC Heartbeat LED
(LED2), JUIDB1 will trigger a cold reboot when the user presses and holds the switch for 6
seconds. It will also restore the BMC to the manufacturer's default when the user presses
and holds the switch for 12 seconds.
To achieve these dual purposes, the UID LED/BMC Reset switch works in conjunction with the
BMC Heartbeat LED (LED2). Refer to the tables below for more details. Please note that UID
can also be triggered via BMC on the motherboard. Refer to the BMC User's Guide posted
on our website at http://www.supermicro.com
