SETTING SWITCHES

A six-position dip switch is located underneath the keyboard. (Instructions
for accessing the switches follow the section that explains updating the
BIOS.) The following lists identifies each switch setting and its function.
NOTE
Switch 5 is not used.
T
Switch 1, BIOS Flash Protection Switch — The default setting is "ON."
Change the setting to "OFF" when you update your system's basic in-
put/output system (or BIOS) flash memory. See "Updating the System
BIOS," to complete this procedure.
T
Switch 2, Password Override Switch — The default setting is "OFF."
For example, if you forget your password and cannot access the data on
your NEC Versa, change the setting to "ON" and your current password
dissolves.
To enter a new password, reset the switch to "OFF," and follow the in-
structions in Chapter 3, "Using Setup," to set up a new password. You
may want to keep this password in a special place so that you don't for-
get it again!
