Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

LAN1/2 Enable/Disable

Change the setting of jumper JPL1 and JPL2 to enable or disable the LAN1 and LAN2 Ethernets ports, re- spectively. See the table on the right for jumper settings. The default setting is enabled.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

JWD controls the Watch Dog function. Watch Dog is a system monitor that can reboot the system when a software application hangs. Jumping pins 1-2 will cause WD to reset the system if an application hangs. Jumping pins 2-3 will generate a non-maskable interrupt signal for the application that hangs. See the table on the right for jumper settings. Watch Dog must also be en- abled in BIOS.

Note: When enabled, the user needs to write their own application software in order to disable the Watch Dog Timer.

USB Wake-Up

These three jumpers allow you to wake up the system by pressing a key on the USB keyboard or by clicking the USB mouse of your system. The jumpers are used together with the USB Wake-Up feature in BIOS and both must be en- abled to use this feature. See the table on the right for jumper settings.

Note: The default setting is enabled. Please be sure to remove all other USB devices from the USB ports whose USB jumpers are set to disabled before the system goes into standby mode.
