Function
Enables/disables the RMC. When this switch is
in its enabled position (closed), the RMC
communicates with the device connected to the
COM1 port. This switch redirects the system
COM1 port's transmit and receive serial lines to
the SFM. The hardware flow control lines are
not passed to the SFM from the system board.
With the switch in the disabled (open) position,
RMC functions are disabled.
Reserved
Bypasses the control signal from the PIC that
enables the system to operate. In the default
"Off" position (open), the system can be shut
down with the poweroff command or by
software. With the switch On (closed), the
poweroff command will not work.
If set to on (closed), forces the RMC to its default
settings. Set this switch if you forget the escape
sequence for entering RMC. See Section 6.7.2.
