  • Page 16: Jumpers And Connectors

    Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-279 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.

Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sud- den power surges.
  • Page 20: Jumper Settings

    1.8.2 CMOS Clear (JCMOS1) The AIMB-279 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper 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.
