3.3 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an
electrical circuit. It consists of two or three metal
pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic
clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the
IBX-300B Embedded System
plastic clip from a jumper.
The following jumpers can be found on the motherboard installed in the IBX-300BC.
Before the IBX-300BC is installed, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the desired
configuration. The jumpers on the IBX-300BC motherboard are listed in

If the IBX-300BC fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the clear CMOS jumper
clears the CMOS data and resets the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper
cap to close the pins for a few seconds then remove the jumper clip.
If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message is displayed during the boot up process, the fault
may be corrected by pressing the F1 to enter the CMOS Setup menu. Do one of the
following:
Enter the correct CMOS setting

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
If the following anti-static precautions are not followed, a user may be
injured and the system irreparably damaged.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the motherboard. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore
critical that whenever the IBX-300BC is opened and any electrical component handled,
the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
IBX-300B Embedded System
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
4.2 Installation Procedure
To properly install the IBX-300BC, the following steps must be followed. Detailed
descriptions of these instructions are listed in the sections that follow.
Step 1: Unpacking
Step 2: Configure the jumper settings.
Step 3: Install HDD.
Step 4: Mount the IBX-300BC

A.1 One Key Recovery Introduction
The IEI one key recovery is an easy-to-use front end for the Norton Ghost system backup
and recovery tool. The one key recovery provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a
backup and reverting to that backup or for reverting to the factory default settings.
The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.

A.1.1 System Requirement
NOTE:
The recovery CD can only be used with IEI products. The software will
fail to run and a warning message will appear when used on non-IEI
hardware.
To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions
(three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the
second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by
the one key recovery software.
The partition created for recovery images must be big enough to contain both the factory
default image and the user backup image. The size must be calculated before creating the
partitions. Please take the following table as a reference when calculating the size of the
partition.
OS OS Image after Ghost Compression Ratio
Windows® 7 7 GB 5 GB 70%
Windows® XPE 776 MB 560 MB 70%
Windows® CE 6.0 36 MB 28 MB 77%
Page 71
NOTE:
Specialized tools are required to change the partition size if the
operating system is already installed.

The recovery CD is compatible with both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system
(OS). The supported OS versions are listed below.

Install the operating system onto the unlabelled partition. The partition labeled as
"Recovery" is for use by the system recovery tool and should not be used for installing the
operating system or any applications.
NOTE:
The operating system installation program may offer to reformat the
chosen partition. DO NOT format the partition again. The partition has
already been formatted and is ready for installing the new operating
system.
To install the operating system, insert the operating system installation CD into the optical
drive. Restart the computer and follow the installation instructions.

Step 1: Hardware and BIOS setup. Refer to Section
Step 2: Install Linux operating system. Make sure to install GRUB (v0.97 or earlier)
MBR type and Ext3 partition type. Leave enough space on the hard drive to
create the recover partition later.
75A.2.1.
NOTE:
If the Linux OS is not installed with GRUB (v0.97 or earlier) and Ext3,
the Symantec Ghost may not function properly.
While installing Linux OS, please create two partitions:
Partition 1: /
Partition 2: SWAP
Page 85
