Alarm Reset (JAR)

The system will notify you in the event

of a power supply failure. This feature

assumes that Supermicro redundant

power supply units are installed in

the chassis. If you only have a single

power supply installed, you should

not connect anything to this jumper to

prevent false alarms. See the table on

the right for jumper settings.

Detect (J3P)

The system can notify you in the event

of a power supply failure. This feature

assumes that three power supply

units are installed in the chassis, with

one acting as a backup. If you only

have one or two power supply units

installed, you should disable this (the

default setting) with J3P to prevent

false alarms.
