Baseboard Jumpers

One 11-pin single inline header provides three 3-pin jumper blocks that control various configuration options. Figure 4-17 shows the location. Items shown in bold in Table 4-19 show default placement for each configurable option.

Figure 4-17. Baseboard Jumpers


Table 4-19. Baseboard Jumper Summary

Function

Pins (default in bold)

What it does at system reset

CMOS clear

1-2, BMC Control

Preserves the contents of NVRAM.

 

2-3, Force Erase

Replaces the contents of NVRAM with the manufacturing default settings.

Password clear

5-6, Protect

Maintains the current system password.

 

6-7, Erase

Clears the password.

Recovery Boot

9-10, Normal

System attempts to boot using the BIOS stored in flash memory.

 

10-11, Recovery

BIOS attempts a recovery boot, loading BIOS code from a diskette into the flash device. This is typically used when the BIOS code has been corrupted.


General Procedure to Change a Jumper Setting

The short general procedure for changing a configuration setting is the same for most of the jumper functions, and is described in the following steps.

  1. Read and observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of Chapter 1.

  2. Turn off all connected peripherals, turn off system power, and disconnect all AC power cords.

  3. Remove the access cover. You do not need to remove the baseboard from the chassis, and you probably do not need to remove any add-in boards.

  4. Locate the configuration jumpers at the edge of the baseboard toward the front of the system, near the narrow SCSI connector.

  5. Move jumper to pins specified for the desired setting.

  6. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws, connect the power cords, and turn on the system for the change to take effect.

  7. You may need to repeat these steps to move the jumper back to its original setting, depending on the jumper function.

CMOS Clear Jumper

The jumper at pins 1, 2, and 3 controls whether settings stored in CMOS nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) are retained during a system reset.

Procedure to restore the system's CMOS and RTC to default values:

  1. See “General Procedure to Change a Jumper Setting”.

  2. Move the CMOS jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3 (the Clear CMOS memory position).

  3. Reinstall the access cover for your safety (using the original screws), and connect the power cords to the system.

  4. Turn the system on. Wait for POST to complete and for the messages “NVRAM cleared by jumper” and “Press F2 to enter Setup” to appear. This automatically reprograms CMOS and RTC to their default settings, except for the password.

  5. Enter Setup and make any changes necessary (for example, changing the boot device). Press F10 to save the new Setup configuration and exit Setup.

  6. Turn off the system, and disconnect all AC power cords from the system.

  7. Again remove the access cover.

  8. Move the jumper from pins 2 and 3 back to pins 1 and 2 (the Protect CMOS memory position).

  9. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws, and connect the power cords to the system.

  10. Run BIOS Setup or the SSU to verify the correct settings. See Chapter 3 in the SGI 1400 Server Family User's Guide.

Password Clear Jumper

The jumper at pins 5, 6, and 7 controls whether a stored password is retained or cleared during a system reset.

Procedure to clear the current password and then enter a new one:

  1. See “General Procedure to Change a Jumper Setting”.

  2. Move the Password jumper from pins 5 and 6 to pins 6 and 7.

  3. Reinstall the access cover for your safety (using the original screws), and connect the power cords to the system.

  4. Turn the system on, and wait for POST to complete. This automatically clears the password.

  5. Turn off the system, and disconnect all AC power cords.

  6. Again remove the access cover.

  7. Move the jumper from pins 6 and 7 back to pins 5 and 6.

  8. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws, and connect the power cords to the system.

  9. Run the SSU to specify a new password. See Chapter 3 in the SGI 1400 Server Family User's Guide.

Recovery Boot Jumper

The jumper at pins 9, 10, and 11 controls whether the system attempts to boot using the BIOS programmed in flash memory.

The following steps disable recovery booting:

  1. See “General Procedure to Change a Jumper Setting”.

  2. Move the recovery boot jumper from pins 9 and 10 to pins 10 and 11.

  3. Reinstall the access cover for your safety (using the original screws), then connect the power cords to the system.

  4. Turn the system on, and insert the Flash Memory Update Utility diskette in drive A. After the system boots, the speaker emits a single beep and the recovery process starts. This takes about three minutes. When the recovery process completes, the speaker emits two beeps.

While in the recovery mode, there is no screen display on the monitor. The keyboard is disabled as the system automatically recovers the BIOS. The beep codes listed in Table 4-20 describe the recovery status.

Table 4-20. BIOS Recovery Beep Codes

Beep Code

Message

2

Successful completion, no errors.

4

The system could not boot from the diskette. The diskette may not be bootable.

Continuous series of low beeps

The wrong BIOS recovery files are being used and/or the flash memory jumper is in the wrong position.


  1. Turn the system off, disconnect all AC power cords from the system, and remove the access cover.

  2. Move the jumper from pins 10 and 11 back to pins 9 and 10 to enable the normal boot mode.

  3. Replace the access cover, remove the diskette from drive A, and connect the power cords to the system.

  4. After running the special recovery mode, run the SSU to specify a new password. See Chapter 3 in the SGI 1400 Server Family User's Guide.

Interrupts

Table 4-23 recommends the logical interrupt mapping of interrupt sources; it reflects a typical configuration, but these interrupts can be changed by the user. Use the information to determine how to program each interrupt. The actual interrupt map is defined using configuration registers in the PIIX4E and the I/O controller. I/O Redirection Registers in the I/O APIC are provided for each interrupt signal; the signals define hardware interrupt signal characteristics for APIC messages sent to local APIC(s).

Note: To disable either IDE controller and reuse the interrupt: if you plan to disable either IDE controller to reuse the interrupt for that controller, you must physically unplug the IDE cable from the board connector (IDE0) if a cable is present. Simply disabling the drive by configuring the SSU option does not make the interrupt available.

Video Modes

The CL-GD5480 integrated video controller provides all standard IBM VGA modes. With 2 MB of SGRAM standard, the system supports special Cirrus Logic extended modes. Table 4-24 and Table 4-25 list the standard and extended modes that this implementation supports, including the number of colors and palette size (e.g., 16 colors out of 256 K colors), resolution, pixel frequency, and scan frequencies.
