(UEMs) that provide additional connections. Future UEMs will provide the
following types of connections:

Reset Button
The switch has a recessed reset button labelled RST that is located on the front
panel. Pressing the reset button resets the hardware and software and clears all
tables and memory, including the address tables. Pressing the reset button does not
clear those values stored in non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM).
System Request Button
This unlabelled recessed button is located on the front panel above the reset button.
Pressing the button causes the
System Request
menu to appear on the console
device attached to the MANAGEMENT port. Pressing the button for more than
five seconds will initiate a modem download of the main image.
Note:
The system request button should be used only at the direction of service
personnel. The button is recessed to prevent accidental activation.
Labels
The two labels in the right side of the front panel are:
The MAC Address Label:
The unique globally assigned base Base MAC-Address of the switch.
The Switch Number Label:
Blank label for an individual user identification of the switch.
