ETTING P THE UMPERS This section will explain how to configure the VIPRO VP7806 to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. Jumper Settings The VIPRO VP7806 internal board provides a jumper for setting some system hardware functions. The jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch.
CLEAR_CMOS: Clear CMOS jumper The CMOS RAM of VIPRO VP7806 system internal motherboard stores system configuration data and has an onboard battery power supply. Step 1 Step 1 Step 1 Step 1 Remove the front bezel by following the procedures in Opening the Chassis.
Page 48
Step 3 Step 3 Step 3 Step 3 To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pin 2 and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pin 1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard.
AT/ATX Power mode Select The VIPRO VP7806 supports two kinds of power modes: ATX (default) and AT. The ATX mode requires a standby power connection and a power supply on signal to turn on the main power supply. The AT mode does not require a standby power connection but needs to be connected to ground to boot up properly.
PVDD2_SEL: LCD power jumper The VIPRO VP7815 system internal motherboard provides an onboard jumper named “PVDD2_SEL” for setting the LCD signal power to either 5V or 3.3V. When connecting the LVDS LCD Panel display to LVDS2 on the top I/O side, the setting of PVDD2_SEL must match the power requirements of the connected LVDS Panel display.
