    Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-278 motherboard link it to devices such as hard disk drives and a keyboard. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers used to configure the system for your application. The tables below list the function of each of the board jumpers and connectors. Later sections in this chapter give instructions on setting jumpers.

  • Page 18: Cmos Clear (Jcmos1)

    1.8.2 CMOS Clear (JCMOS1) The AIMB-278 motherboard contains jumpers that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally these jumpers should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed.
