The CUDA switch does function as a reset switch but they're not the same. The external reset switch just restarts the computer like command-control-power key.

To the best of my knowledge (and I have studied electronics
at Uni for 4 years) a powered hub simply boosts the signal out
to the connected devices, and can be used as an unpowered
hub with the PSU unplugged.

It should not affect the computer end of the hub.

Obviously there might be something wrong with the hub,
but still odd IMO.

I had a small brainwave and I'm going to try pressing the reset
button and see if this helps revive the iMacs.

Question (I know this is not the iMac list) is the external reset
switch (tiny resessed thing by the USB port) the same as the
Cuda switch ???

I'm not 100% sure but usually, the reset switch is NOT the CUDA switch. On
my PowerMac B&W G3, the external reset switch doesn't seem to have anything
to do with the CUDA switch which is on the motherboard. However, they could
be the same thing.


Here is what Apple says about the CUDA chip:

The Cuda is a microcontroller chip on the Power Macintosh G4 (PCI Graphics)
logic board.


and:

 The function of the Cuda chip is to:
    ?     Turn system power on and off.
    ?     Manage system resets from various commands.
    ?     Maintain parameter RAM (PRAM).
    ?     Manage the real-time clock.
