System board switches and jumpers
The following illustration identifies the switches and jumpers on the system board.

1. System board switch block (SW1)
2. Boot block jumper (J37)
System board jumper blocks
Any jumper blocks on the system board that are not shown in the illustration are reserved. For normal operation of the system, no jumpers should be installed on any of the jumper blocks. See Recovering BIOS in the HMM for information about the boot block jumper.
System board switch block
The switch block contains microswitches 1-8. As shown in this illustration, switch 8 is at the top of the switch block and switch 1 is at the bottom. The following table describes each switch.
| Table 7. Switches 1-8 | |
|---|---|
| Switch number | Description |
| 1-4 | Microprocessor speed setting. See Table 8. |
| 5 | Power-on override. When On, overrides the power-on switch and forces power-on mode. The system will always boot without the use of the power-on switch. The default setting is Off (disabled). |
| 6 | Clock frequency selection. When On, sets the host bus speed to 100 MHz. When Off, the host bus speed is 133 MHz. The default setting is Off. |
| 7 | Reserved. The default setting is Off. |
| 8 | Password override. When On, bypass the power-on password. When Off, require the user to enter the power-on password at startup, if one is set. The default setting is Off. |
| Table 8. Microprocessor speed settings | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microprocessor speed | Switch1 | Switch 2 | Switch 3 | Switch 4 |
| 667/133 | On | On | Off | Off |
| 733/133 | On | Off | Off | Off |
| 800/133 | Off | On | On | On |
| 866/133 | Off | Off | On | On |
| 933/133 | Off | On | Off | On |
Note: The speed settings shown above apply only to unlocked processors. If the processors are produc-tion level they are locked and there is no need to change the speed settings.
