Jumper Settings for Management Controllers 

The Intel® Server Board S1200V3RPS is equipped with several server management 

featured that may need to be disabled for software development and validation. 

Disabling the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and Manageability Engine (ME) 

will disable watchdog timers, which reduces the chance of the system resetting when 

debugging firmware. 

We recommend the following settings on the Intel® Server Board S1200V3RPS: 

 

Jumper J3K2 – position 2-3 (ME Force Update, Enabled) 

 

Jumper J3K6 – position 2-3 (BMC Force Update, Enabled) 

Please refer to 

Figure 2

 for motherboard jumper settings.

Legacy BIOS Support 

The Compatibility Support Module (CSM) can be enabled or disabled through setup:
