Jumpers


The setup of the configuration jumpers on the SBC is described below. * indicates the default value of each jumper.


NOTE:
For two-position jumpers (3-post), "TOP" is toward the memory sockets; "BOTTOM" is toward the edge fingers.



JU5/JU7 Speed LED - LAN 1/LAN 2
These jumpers are used in conjunction with the Link/Speed LEDs for LAN 1 (JU5) and LAN 2 (JU7). The LEDs are located on the SBC's LAN connectors. For further information see the Ethernet LEDs and Connectors section.

Install to use the Link/Speed LED to indicate that the Ethernet interface has a valid link at either 1000-Mb/s or 100-Mb/s.

Green = valid link at 1000-Mb/s *
Orange = valid link at 100-Mb/s

Remove to use the Link/Speed LED to indicate that the Ethernet interface has a valid link at either 100-Mb/s or 10Mb/s.

Green = valid link at 100-Mb/s
Orange = valid link at 10-Mb/s




JU8 PASSWORD CLEAR
Install for one power-up cycle to reset the password to the default (null password).
Remove for normal operation. *



JU9 SCSI Termination
This jumper may be used to enable or disable on-board active termination for the Ultra160 SCSI interface.

Install on the TOP to enable active termination *
Install on the BOTTOM to allow the AIC-7892 to control termination.
Remove to disable active termination.




JU10/JU11 SYSTEM FLASH ROM OPERATIONAL MODES
The Flash ROM has two programmable sections: the Boot Block for "flashing" in the BIOS and the Main Block for the executable BIOS and PnP parameters.

Normally only the Main Block is updated when a new BIOS is flashed into the system
JU10 JU11
All Blocks Write Enabled Remove * Remove *
Boot Block Write Protected Install Remove
Block 2-16 Write Protected Remove Install




JU12 CMOS CLEAR
Install on the TOP to operate.*
Install on the BOTTOM to clear.

NOTE: The CMOS Clear jumper works on power-up. To clear the CMOS, power down the system, install the jumper, then turn the power back on. Wait for at least two seconds and turn the power off. Then remove the jumper and turn the power on. When AMIBIOS displays the "CMOS Settings Wrong" message, press F1 to go to the BIOS Setup Utility, where you may reenter your desired BIOS settings, load optimal defaults or load failsafe defaults.


Ethernet LEDs


ETHERNET LEDS AND CONNECTORS
Each Ethernet interface has two LEDS for status indication and an RJ-45 network connector.
LED/Connector Description
Activity LED Orange LED which indicates network activity. This Is the upper LED on the LAN connector (i.e.,toward the memory sockets).
    Off Indicates there is no current network transmit or receive activity.
    On (flashing) Indicates network transmit or receive activity.
Link/Speed LED Bi-color (green/orange) LED which identifies the link status and connection speed. This is the lower LED on the LAN connector (i.e., toward the edge connectors).
    Green Indicates a valid link at either 1000-Mb/s or 10-Mb/s, depending on the setting of the associated Speed LED jumper (JU5 or JU7).
    Orange Indicates a valid link at 100-Mb/s, regardless of the setting of the associated Speed LED jumper (JU5 or JU7).
  NOTE: For further information on the Speed LED Jumpers, see the Jumpers section.








LED/Connector Description
RJ-45 Network The RJ-45 network connector requires a category 5 (CAT5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) 2-pair cable for a 100-Mb/s network connection or a category 3 (CAT3) or higher UTP 2-pair cable for a 10-Mb/s network connection. A category 5e (CAT5e) or higher UTP 2-pair cable is recommended for a 1000-Mb/s (Gigabit) network connection.


Connectors


NOTE:
Pin 1 on the connectors is indicated by the square pad
on the PCB.

Memory


The Double Data Rate (DDR) memory interface supports up to 2GB of memory and can operate as either a single-channel (64-bit) or dual-channel (128-bit) DDR interface. Each of the channels terminates in a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) socket. Installing two identical DIMMs doubles the interface bandwidth. The System BIOS automatically detects memory type, size and speed.

The SBC uses industry standard 72-bit wide ECC or 64-bit wide non-ECC gold finger PC2100, PC2700 or PC3200 memory modules in two 184-pin sockets.

NOTE: Memory modules can be installed in one or both DIMM sockets. If two modules of different speeds are used, the DIMMs will operate in dual-channel mode at the speed of the slowest DIMM. If the modules are different sizes, they will operate in single-channel mode. Registered DIMMs are not supported. All memory modules must have gold contacts.

The SBC supports DIMMs which are PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 compliant and have the following features:

  • 184-pin with gold-plated contacts
  • ECC (72-bit) or non-ECC (64-bit) DDR memory
  • Unbuffered configuration


The following DIMM sizes are supported:

DIMM Size DIMM Type ECC
64MB Unbuffered 8M x 72
128MB Unbuffered 16M x 72
256MB Unbuffered 32M x 72
512MB Unbuffered 64M x 72
1GB Unbuffered 128M x 72
