2.4.8 Switch (SW)
A pushbutton switch is recessed behind the front panel, and provides a means of generating a
reset or NMI to the board.
The reset or NMI function is selected by the setting of the Front Panel Switch Function switch
shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3 Front Panel Switch Function
Selecting the Reset position setting will cause the board to be reset when the front panel switch is
operated. If the board is in the System Controller Slot, it will also assert RST# on the CompactPCI
backplane and hence will reset the other boards in the chassis. If the board is operating as a
Peripheral or Satellite, it will respond to front panel resets but will not reset the other boards in the
chassis.
Selecting the NMI position setting configures the switch to generate NMI when operated. No reset
is generated in this case.
