Here is the manual: 
<http://www.istoragenetworks.com/servermanuals/rx4640_maintenance.pdf>  
Page 113 and which also references page 22 for the location of the 
button that you've now found, and see page 73 for the default 
passwords.  FWIW, wire ties are handy for these tasks, as they're 
non-conductive and unlikely to damage the etch, but stiff enough to 
press buttons.
