Chapter 2: Installation

Alarm Reset

The system will notify you in the

event of a power supply failure.

This feature assumes that Super-

micro redundant power supply

units are installed in the chassis.

If you only have a single power

supply installed, you should not

connect anything to this header

(JPR1) to prevent false alarms.

See the table on the right for

jumper settings.
