Page 23: Onboard Jumpers
VB9001 User Manual 4. Onboard Jumpers Jumper Description A jumper consists of a pair of conductive pins used to close in or bypass an electronic circuit to set up or configure a particular feature using a jumper cap. The jumper cap is a small metal clip covered by plastic. It performs like a connecting bridge to short (connect) the pair of pins. The usual colors of the jumper cap are black/red/blue/white/yellow. Jumper Setting There are two settings of the jumper pin: “Short and Open”. The pins are “Short” when a jumper cap is placed on the pair of pins. The pins are “Open” if the jumper cap is removed. In addition, there are jumpers that have three or more pins, and some pins are arranged in series. In case of a jumper with three pins, place the jumper cap on pin 1 and pin 2 or pin 2 and 3 to Short it. -
Page 24: Clear Cmos Jumper
VB9001 User Manual Clear CMOS Jumper The VB9001 comes with a Clear CMOS jumper. The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pins 2 and 3 while the system is off, then return the jumper to pins 1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard. The default settings are on pins 1 and 2.

Page 25: 5. Hardware Installation
VB9001 User Manual 5. Hardware Installation Suggested minimum chassis dimensions The VB9001 can be fitted into any chassis that has mounting holes compatible with the standard SBC mounting hole locations. Additionally, the chassis must meet the minimum height requirements for specified areas of the mainboard. 5.1.1 Suggested minimum chassis dimensions The figure below shows the suggested minimum space requirements that a chassis should have in order to work well with the VB9001. 1.5mm Figure 27: Suggested minimum chassis dimensions Each side of the mainboard should have a buffer zone from the internal wall of the chassis. The side of the mainboard that accommodates the I/O coastline should have a buffer of 1.5mm; it's comprised of one COM port, and five Gigabit Ethernet ports. The side on the opposite end of the I/O coastline should have a buffer of at least 1mm. The right side of the I/O coastline should have a buffer of 1mm and it's only comprised of a DC-in jack. The left side of the I/O coastline should have a buffer of at least 5mm. -
