Chapter 3 Jumper Settings &
Connectors
3.1 Jumpers and Connectors
3.1.1 Setting jumpers
You can configure your panel PC to match the needs of your application
by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a
jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you
remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2,
and 3. In this case, you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or pins 2 and 3.
openclosedclosed 2-3
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:.

Setup
When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically,
a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the
hard disk drive.
You should then run an antivirus program. Keep in mind that this feature
protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive.
Note:Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot
sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If
you plan to run such a program, we recommend that
you disable the virus warning.

CPU Internal Cache/External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type up contain internal
cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the
requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for faster
access by the CPU.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking
When you select Enabled, it will speed up memory checking when the
external cache contains ECC SRAMs. The choices: Enabled; Disabled.
Processor Number Feature
Choose Disabled or Enabled. When enabled, the processor serial number
will display during the boot up screen.
Quick Power On Self Test
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on
self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that
you normally enable quick POST.

Swap Floppy Drive
When enabled, floppy drives A and B will be exchanging without any
physical connection and modification on the cables.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
When enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether
they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks;
drives with 270KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80 tracks.
Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to disabled to save time.
Boot Up NumLock Status
Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key when
the system boots. If On, the numeric keypad is in numeric mode. If off,
the numeric keypad is in cursor control mode.
IPPC-9151 Series Users Manual76
Gate A20 Option
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1 MB
(extended memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate
A20. When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate
A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves system speed, particularly with
OS/2 and Windows.
Typematic Rate Setting
When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic
Delay) are irrelevant. Keystroke repeats at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your system. When Enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic delay.
Typematic Rate (Chars / Sec)
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic
rate (the rate at which character repeats when you hold down a key) of 6,
8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, or 30 characters per second.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
Choices: 250; 500; 750; 1000. This option sets the time interval for displaying the first and the second characters. If enabled, the time interval is
optional.
Security Option
If you have set a password, select whether the password is required every
time the System boots, or only when you enter setup. The choices: system; setup.
PS/2 Mouse Function
Disabled: Prevents any installed PS/2 mouse from functioning but free up
occupied IRQ.
