H8DCT-HLN4F/HIBQF SERVERBOARD USER'S MANUAL

I2C to PCI-Express Slots

JI2C1/JI2C2 slots allows you to enable the I2C bus to communicate with a PCI-Express slot. For the jumpers to work properly, please set both jumpers to the same setting. If enabled, both jumpers must be enabled. If disabled, both jumpers must be disabled. See the table on the right for jumper settings.

BMC Jumper

JPB1 is used to enable or disable theBMC (Baseboard Management Control) Chip and the onboard IPMI connection.This jumper is used together with the IPMI settings in the BIOS. The default position is on pins 1 and 2 to Enable BMC. See the table on the right for jumper settings.

VGA Enable/Disable

JPG1 allows you to enable or disable the VGA port. The default position is on pins 1 and 2 to enable VGA. See the table on the right for jumper settings.

LAN Enable/Disable

Change the setting of jumper JPL1 to enable or disable the LAN1/2/3/4 Ethernet ports. See the table on the right for jumper settings. The default setting is enabled.

InfiniBand Port Enable/Disable

JIB1 enables or disables the InfiniBand port on H8DCT-HIBQF serverboard. The default position is on pins 1 and 2 to enable the port. See the table below for jumper settings.
