Configuration Jumper (CN27)

Jumper Name

Pins

What it does at system reset

BIOS Write Protect

1-2

If these pins are jumpered, write protect is disabled allowing the BIOS boot
block to be updated. This feature is used in the rare case that a BIOS
update requires a BIOS boot block update as well. These pins should not
be jumpered for normal operation.

BMC Write Protect

3-4

If these pins are jumpered, write protect is disabled allowing the BMC boot
block to be updated. This feature is used in the rare case that a BIOS
update requires a BMC boot block update as well. These pins should not
be jumpered for normal operation.

Configuration Jumper (CN53)

Jumper Name

Pins

What it does at system reset

PCIX1 DIS

1-2

Placing a jumper on pins 1-2 disables the 100 MHz PCI-X mode for the
CIOBX2 primary channel and forces the bus to run 66 MHz PCI. The
primary channel consists of Slot 1, Slot 2 and Gbit.

In the default configuration, pins 1-2 are not jumpered therefore the
primary channel is configured for 100 MHz PCI-X.

PCIX2 DIS

3-4

Placing a jumper on pins 3-4 disables the PCI-X mode for the CIOBX2
secondary channel and forces the bus to run 66 MHz PCI. The secondary
channel consists of Slot 6 and the on-board SCSI.

In the default configuration, pins 3-4 are jumpered therefore the secondary
channel is configured for 66 MHz PCI and on-board SCSI is enabled.

Enabling PCI-X on Slot 6 and Disabling On-board SCSI

NOTE

Enabling the 133 MHz PCI-X on Slot 6 disables the on-board SCSI.

To enable the 133 MHz PCI-X on Slot 6, follow these instructions:

1. Enter BIOS setup.
2. While in BIOS setup, remove the jumper from CN53 pins 3-4.
3. In BIOS setup disable the on-board SCSI.
4. Select Save & Exit BIOS setup.
5. While the system is posting, shutdown the system by pushing the front panel power button.
6. While the system in off, plug a PCI-X card into Slot 6.
7. Push the front panel power button to power up the system.
8. Slot 6 is now 133 MHz PCI-X capable.
