Assigned board status, and places the boards in low-power mode, which
allows you to remove the boards from the system. The domain will not be
initialized at system power on.

is set to on and the POST diagnostic level is set to maximum.
secure Similar to the setkeyswitch on command except that the break command
and the reset commands are ignored. CPU/Memory board and
I/O assembly flash PROM updates are not allowed.
