5-9 Jumper 

Settings

To modify the operation of the serverboard, 

jumpers can be used to choose between 

optional settings.  Jumpers create shorts 

between two pins to change the function 

of the connector.  Pin 1 is identifi ed  with 

a square solder pad on the printed circuit 

board.  See the serverboard layout pages 

for jumper locations.

Note:

 On a two-pin jumper, "Closed" means 

the jumper is on both pins and "Open" 

means the jumper is either on only one pin 

or completely removed.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS (which will also clear any passwords). Instead of pins, 

this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents 

of CMOS. 

To Clear CMOS

First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).

1. 

With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such 

2. 

as a small screwdriver.

Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).

3. 

Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

4. 

Note:

 

Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

JWD1 enables the Watch Dog function, a 

system monitor that takes action when a 

software application freezes the system. 

Jumping pins 1-2 will have Watch Dog reboot 

the system if a program freezes. Jumping 

pins 2-3 will generate a non-maskable 

interrupt for the program that has frozen. 

See the table on the right for jumper settings. 

Watch Dog must also be enabled in BIOS. 

Note

: When Watch Dog is enabled, you 

must write your own application software 
to disable the Watch Dog Timer.
