iLO/Spread Spectrum Switch (SW8)
The iLO/Spread Spectrum switch (SW8) is a two-position switch that is used for
miscellaneous purposes. The iLO security override switch allows the administrator
full access to the iLO processor. This access is necessary if the administrator lost
their password or if the iLO boot-block needs to be flashed. Use Figure E-12 and
Table E-16 to identify the iLO/Spread Spectrum switch location and settings.
