The arrow is for normal operation, the "face" displays a menu for selecting the
console prompt language, and the T is for test mode.
The other switch controls the boot action; I forget which position is which, but
one will boot the OS (if the console variables are set, and the battery is ok.)
and the other position boots to the console ( >>> prompt).

The battery pack maintains the console environment variables, and probably the
real-time clock.

I think the CQD-223/M appears to the system as an MSCP type controller, so it
should work.....
