Jumper Default Jumper Position
 
Jumper Description
(from left to right)
J23-1 jumper position Primary microprocessor (default).
If you replace the microprocessor that comes with the server, you might need to move the jumper to the opposite position.
J23-2 jumper position Secondary microprocessor (default).
The primary and secondary ECC microprocessors must have the same cache size and cache speed; the jumpers should be set to the same position. If you add microprocessors that differ from the one that comes with the server, you might need to move the jumpers to the opposite position.
J23-3 jumper position Flash update enable jumper: Enabled.
You must move the jumper from the default jumper position to block updates to the flash BIOS on the
system board.
J23-4 jumper position Recovery boot block is protected from accidental overwrite.
The flash memory contains a protected area that cannot be corrupted. The code in this area enables the server to start from a diskette when the BIOS becomes corrupted, for example, if a power failure occurs during a flash update. After starting, the flash utility automatically recovers the system BIOS from the BIOS recovery files on the diskette. When the flash is complete, the jumper must be moved to the default, disabled, position. The recovery boot procedure requires two flash diskette: one for the main system
flash, and one for the boot block.
J23-5 jumper position Boot block is protected from accidental overwrite.
J23-6 jumper position VPD write is disabled. You must move the jumper from the default jumper position to update or overwrite the Vital Product Data.
J23-7 jumper position Tamper detection/Clear CMOS. The default is no jumper.
 
When you install the System Management adapter, you must install a jumper on the two pins closest to the microprocessor board.

This jumper position clears CMOS and all configuration information, including the power-on password.
J35 jumper position SCSI Disable (normally enabled) Not present on early System Boards.
J36 jumper position Ethernet Disable (normally enabled)
Not present on early System Boards.
