It could be
1) placed in the manual but never implemented
2) implemented only on certain machines (highest end 9406's or such?)

The existence of the switch was in some of the manuals (the relevant
manual I seem to have chucked). I do recall that all that was required
was to call IBM for a new license, there did not seem to be anything to be
physically replaced.

Jerome Fine replies:
What ever the IBM systems were that contained that feature, did
that mean that the original legal user could also not move his system
into another room?
Of course not, legit owners had IBM field service move the hardware and
field service replaced the vibration switch after it was moved.
