Jumper Setting

EBC 580 User’s Manual 13

This chapter of the User’s Manual describes how to set jumpers.

Note: The procedures that follow are generic for all EBC 580 series.

2.1 Before You Begin

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a

malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components.

Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

♦ A Philips screwdriver

♦ A flat-tipped screwdriver

♦ A set of jewelers Screwdrivers

♦ A grounding strap

♦ An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use

needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the

connectors.

Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off. Ground yourself before touching

any internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic

components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding

strap is warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.

2.2 Precautions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity.

Working on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow

the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:

♦ Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the case.

♦ If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Alternatively,

discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal

body of any other grounded appliance.

♦ Hold electronic circuit boards (such as the EBC 580 board) by the edges only. Do not touch the

components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress the circuit board.

♦ Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped with until they are ready for

installation.

♦ Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.

EBC 580 User’s Manual 14

2.3 Setting Jumpers

A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the

jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on

both pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin,

the jumper is OPEN. Please see the following illustrations

The illustrations on the right show

a 2-pin jumper. When the jumper

cap is placed on both pins, the

jumper is SHORT. If you remove

the jumper cap, or place the

jumper cap on just one pin, the

jumper is OPEN.

Open (Off) Short (On)

These illustrations show a 3-pin

jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

3.1 System Memory

EBC 580 incorporates VIA CN700chipset supports up to 1GB un-buffered non-ECC DDR 333/400

SDRAM.

3.2 Installing DIMM

To install DIMM

1. Make sure the two handles of the DIMM sockets are in the “open” position, i.e. the handles stay

outward.

Figure3-1: How to Install DIMM (1)

EBC 580 User’s Manual 27

2. Slowly slide the DIMM modules along the plastic guides in the both ends of the socket.

Figure 3-2: How to Install DIMM (2)

EBC 580 User’s Manual 28

3. Then press the DIMM module down right into the socket, until a click is heard. That means the two

handles automatically locked the memory modules into the right position of the DIMM socket.

Figure 3-3: How to Install DIMM (3)

4. To take away the memory module, just push the both handles outward, the memory module will be

ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

3.3 Installing Compact Flash

1. To install a Compact Flash memory card into EBC 580, align the notches on the card with the Compact

Flash socket in the EBC 580. Then firmly insert the card into the socket until it is completely seated.

Figure 3-5: How to Install Compact Flash Memory (1)

2. To remove the Compact Flash memory card from EBC 580, pull out the memory card from the

Compact Flash socket.
