Step 1 Unpack the ARMC/2 Card (and check jumper settings),

JP12 Diagnostic and Recovery Mode Jumper

This jumper is primarily used to recover a failed flash attempt. By shorting pins one and
two, you can place your ARMC/2 card into Diagnostics Mode. By shorting pins two and
three, you can place your ARMC/2 card into Recovery Mode. See Appendix C, Remote
Recovery Application (RRA) for more information on how to recover your ARMC/2 card.
By default, pins one, two and three are open.

JP13 and JP14 PCI Bus SMB Data and Clock Jumper

These two headers allow your ARMC/2 card to read I2C bus information. If your hosts
system's motherboard has support for I2C on the PCI slots, place a jumper on these two
headers. By default these headers are open.
Note:
Only revision B1 and newer revisions of the ARMC/2 cards have these two jumpers.
Revisions A and B do not have JP13 and JP14.
Note:
Most PCI slots have a "floating" I2C bus. A "floating" I2C bus means that there is no
physical connection between the two I2C pins on the PCI slot and the motherboard's I2C
bus. Shorting JP13 and JP14 would be useless in this case.
Note:
JP13 and JP14 can be used in place of the ARMC/2 Universal Cable to gather I2C bus
information from the motherboard.
Note:
Only the OEM version can utilize the hardware health monitoring capabilities of
ARMC/2 card. The hardware health monitoring function requires an OEM specific cable
and Sensor Definition Kit (SDK/SDR) file and Soft Processor (SP) file.
Step 2 Plug in the ARMC/2 Card into the Host System and Attach Internal
Cables
Physically plug in the ARMC/2 card into any available PCI slot inside the host system.
