inches long.
b. Insert the clip straight into the hole, keeping the clip perpendicular to the plastic bezel.
c. When you engage the reset switch, you should feel the detent of the switch.
d. After you press the switch, the service processor is reset, then the system shuts down.
2. Reboot the system in slow mode from the permanent side using control panel function 02.
3. If the hang repeats, check with service support to see if there is a firmware update that
