3.4 NVRAM RESET SWITCH
The ESX uses Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) to store
user-entered parameters such as IP addresses and Community Names.
The NVRAM reset switch (location shown in Figure 3-5), prepares the
ESX electronics to reset NVRAM on either the next power up or the next
operation of the front panel RESET button.
Figure 3-5 NVRAM Reset Switch
Changing the NVRAM reset switch position has no effect on operation
until the RESET button is pressed or the power to the ESX is cycled. This
will initiate the ESX processor and clear the NVRAM of user-entered
parameters such as IP addresses and community names.
To change the NVRAM reset switch position, use a non-metallic tool to
reach in through the chassis grillwork and move the switch. There is no
need to remove the chassis cover to set the NVRAM reset switch.
Use only a non-metallic tool to set the NVRAM reset switch.
Otherwise, injury or damage to the ESX may occur.
