Here are the explanations for the switch meanings as per the Matrix manual.
Mode 1 (Dip switch 1 & 2 ON) (LED: Red or Green flashing) Test/Disable. This mode is primarily used for the alignment of the Matrix during installation. It may also be used to fully disable the Matrix while in circuit.
Mode 2 (Dip switch 1 OFF, 2 ON) (LED: Green) Always On. This mode enables the Matrix to take over the original bios at all times.
Mode 3 (Dip switch 1 ON, 2OFF) (LED: Green = Matrix, Red = Original) Swap Mode. This mode works as follows:
On every power up the Matrix "bios" is loaded indicated by the Green LED. To switch to the original bios the user must load a game and then press eject, at this time the LED will turn Red indicating that the original bios is active. To switch back the user may either turn off and on the console or repeat the above.
Mode 4 (Dip swtich 1 OFF & 2 OFF) (LED: Orange flashing) Write enable
In this mode the Matrix is always active but has the ability to be flash updated via DVD rom. We do not recommend you leave this mode on permanently, a bad update of the flash will mean you will have to reprogram the matrix via the programmer.
So now u know!
