Introduction
1-3. Safety Precautions
Follow the practices below to prevent electrical damage to personnel
and to the computer:
1. Employ standard ESD precautions when working with this product
and its components. Static electricity can damage semiconductor
devices.
2. Take precautions against electric shock. Do not touch any
components of this card when the card is on. Disconnect the power
cord when the system is not in use.
3. Disconnect the power cord when you change any hardware devices.
For instance, when you connect a jumper or install any cards, a surge
of power may damage electronic components that affect the whole
system.

2-3 How to Set Jumpers
Jumpers and Caps. Your PC is configured by the positions of jumpers
on the circuit board. A jumper consists of two or more metal pins with
a plastic base mounted on the card. A small plastic cap(with a metal
contact inside) is used to connect the pins. For two-pin jumpers, the
12 CommPlete 4000 Server SBC, Model IPC-551
Hardware Configuration
active value for user-changeable parameters depends on jumper pins
being closed (electrically connected by a cap) or open (not electrically
connected). For parameters having more than two values, groups of
jumpers (or jumper blocks) are used to determine the active value.
For example, if a jumper has three pins labeled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3,
you can use a jumper cap to connect PIN1 & PIN2 to activate one
value for the parameter. Connecting PIN2 and PIN3 would activate
another value.
This manual contains many illustrations of jumper configurations.
Jumper caps are depicted as shaded boxes connecting pairs of pins on
jumper blocks
Jumper Settings
The IPC-551 comes equipped with one of five CPUs of differing
operating speeds: 233 MHz, 266 MHz, 300 MHz, 333 MHz, or 366 MHz.
