Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-273 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 your 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.

1.8.2 CMOS Clear (CMOS1) The AIMB-273 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.
System Memory The AIMB-273 has two sockets for a 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM. This socket uses a 1.5 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAM (DDR SDRAM). DRAM is avail- able in capacities of 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with SODIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB.
USB Ports (LAN1_USB12/LAN2_USB34/USB56/ USB78) The AIMB-273 provides up to eight USB ports. Four USB3.0 on the real side and four pin header on the board. The USB interface complies with USB Specification Rev. 2.0 and Rev. 3.0 supporting transmission rate up to 625 Mbps and is fuse protected.
VGA Connector(VGA1) The AIMB-273 includes VGA interface that can drive conventional VGA displays. VGA1 is a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA. AIMB-273 User Manual...
Serial Ports (COM1~COM2) COM1/COM2 AIMB-273 supports two serial ports, and only support RS-232 function. These ports can connect to serial devices, such as a mouse or a printer, or to a com- munications network. The IRQ and address ranges for both ports are fixed. However, if you want to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup.
