Processor Board Jumpers
Table 8 contains the names and descriptions of the jumper blocks located on the processor board. Table 9 gives the microprocessor core-frequency-selection switch settings. The highlighted numbers in the table refer to the highlighted numbers in the illustration in "Processor Board Component Locations".
| Notes 1. Turn off the server, and disconnect the power cords before moving any jumpers. 2. Be sure the microprocessor bus-to-core ratio is set correctly. For example, if you have a 400 MHz (See footnote 2 below) microprocessor installed and the system bus speed is 100 MHz (the default), be sure that the microprocessor core frequency selection switch block is set to a bus-to-core ratio of 4 (400/100). See Table 9. |
| Attention If the microprocessor bus-to-core ratio is incorrect, system-board components will overheat and component damage might occur. Be sure that the microprocessor core-frequency selection is properly set. |
Table 8. Processor Board Jumpers
| Jumper Name | Description |
|---|---|
| 12 J22 Reserved | The default position is no jumper on J22. |
Table 9. Microprocessor Core Frequency Selection Switch (SW1) Settings
| Core/Bus Ratio | Position 1 | Position 2 | Position 3 | Position 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | On | On | On | Off |
| 4.5 | On | Off | On | Off |
| 5 | On | On | Off | Off |
Note: All other setting combinations are reserved.
(2) 400 MHz denotes internal clock speed of the microprocessor only; other factors also affect application performance.
