System board jumpers

WARNING: Turn off the server, and disconnect the power cords before moving any jumpers.

Index Jumper Name Description
8 J11 Disable RAID controller The default position is Enabled (jumper on pins 1 and 2). Move the the jumper to pins 2 and 3 to disable the RAID controller.
9 J45 Reserved The default position is a jumper on pins 2 and 3.
10 J32 Power on control The default position is normal operation (jumper on pins 1 and 2). Moving the jumper to pins 2 and 3 allows the power supply to be turned on without a control panel or system management processor.
11 J15 RAID download The default position is no jumpers on the pins. This jumper block is used when the RAID adapter EEPROM is being updated.
12 J25 Reserved
The default position is a jumper on pins 1 and 2.
13 J9 Reserved

The default position is a jumper on pins 1 and 2.

20 J34 Reserved The default position is a jumper installed on pins 1 and 2.
21 J29 Reserved The default position is a jumper installed on pins 1 and 2.
22 J26 Reserved The default is no jumper installed on J26.
24 J51 Disable Advanced System Management processor In normal operation, there is no jumper on J51. Installing a jumper on J51 disables the Netfinity Advanced System Management processor.
27 J24 Power on password override Changing the position of this jumper bypasses the power-on password check if the jumper has been moved since the server was last powered on. You do not need to move the jumper back to the default position after the password is overridden. Changing the position of this jumper does not affect the administrator password check if an administrator password is set.
28 J30 Flash ROM page swap The default position is a jumper installed on pins 2 and 3. Changing the position of this jumper will change which of the two pages of Flash ROM is used when the system is started.
46 J5 Disable Ethernet controller
The default position is Enabled (jumper on pins 1 and 2). Move the the jumper to pins 2 and 3 to disable the Ethernet controller.
47 J14 Disable video controller The default position is Enabled (jumper on pins 1 and 2). Move the the jumper to pins 2 and 3 to disable the video controller.

NOTE: The numbers in the table correspond to the highlighted numbers on System board component locations illustration above.

Processor board jumpers

NOTES:
  • The numbers in the table correspond to the highlighted numbers on System board component locations illustration above.
  • Turn off the server, and disconnect the power cords before moving any jumpers.
  • Be sure the microprocessor bus-to-core ratio is set correctly. For example, if you have a 400MHz 2 microprocessor installed and the system
    bus speed is 100MHz (the default), be sure thatthe microprocessor core frequency selection switch block is set to a bus-to-core ratio of 4 (400/100).

WARNING: If the microprocessor bus-to-core ratio is incorrect, system board components will overheat and component damage might occur. Be sure that the microprocessor core-frequency selection is properly set.

For the core/bus fraction 4.5 (450/100MHz), jumpers are installed on pins 1 and 2 of J28 and J31 and on pins 2 and 3 of J29 and J30. For the core/bus fraction 5 (500/100MHz), jumpers are installed on pins 1 and 2 of J30 and J31 and on pins 2 and 3 of J28 and J29.
