1.8Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard default settings and your options for each jumper.

1.8.1How to set jumpers

You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by set- ting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” (or turn on) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or turn off) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when set- ting jumpers.

1.8.2CMOS clear (CMOS1)

The AIMB-766 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 J1 to 2-3 closed for just a few sec- onds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.
