      From: ohland@charter.net              95 XP Op Panel - Hidden Remote IPL Switch (SW1)              What's the switch SW1 for on the op panel PCB?              Tom says:        The SW1 switch is normally hidden behind the Op Panel Bezel.       Contrary to what has been said about it not having any function in the       Model 95, based on its wiring and some testing I have determined that it       enables/disables the "Remote Power-ON" feature.        This allows the system unit to be turned on and off from an external       source - via the J4 pin header on the planar board. For this to work the       hidden SW1 switch must be pressed down, and then it's possible to power       the system on by grounding pin 2 of J4, and power it off again by       removing this connection. The system will power down only if the main       power switch (SW2) remained in the OFF position.        The J4 connection would be realized using an externally powered       electronic switch - relay, semiconductor etc. The control signal could       be then supplied from a device connected to a telephone line or some       other source.              Ed. Now we know its real name - Remote Initial Program Load (IPL) Switch       (source).              Tomas Slavotinek wrote:       > On 08.01.2023 19:57, Pertti Helander wrote:       >> I was at opposite end of PSU connector, didn´t notice the mark there.       >> When I closed PSU connector pins 1-2 with wire PSU fan starts.       >> But when I checked with multimeter PSU connectors all pins there was 0       >> V with ground row pins and +- 5V or+-12V pins.       >> Between pins 1-2 there was 0 V not +5 V.
