When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the
system is prepared to erase all system configuration settings from both CMOS
and NVRAM.

NMI jumper

The NMI jumper allows administrators to perform a memory dump before
performing a hard reset. Crash dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating
reliability problems, such as hangs or crashes in OSs, device drivers, and
applications. Many crashes can freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset.
Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause
analysis.
