Question

Hi avmech
you wrote:
It can also be actuated by switching DFGC computers. This is a standard procedure for high altitude airport departures with a full load
.

Now this standard procedure is new to me!
What i've understood there's someone using the switching of the DFGC, to obtain max thrust during take-off.

What i know is that you can obtain max thrust, during take off and climb-out, by switching the ART system to INOP and then selecting TO mode on the TRP panel.
This is done normally at the end of the final cockpit checklist ( when you decide which kind of thrust you want: MAX-Normal-Flex).
