Jumper Settings

Function Pins What It Does At System Reset
Host Bus In-order Queue 13-14, Max Host in-order queue depth is set at maximum
14-15, Min Host in-order queue depth is set at 1 (used for debugging)
Chassis Intrusion Detection 9-10, Enable Switch installed on chassis indicates when cover has been removed
10-11, Disable Chassis intrusion switch is bypassed
FRB Enable 5-6, Enable FRB operation is enabled (system boots from processor 1 if processor 0 fails)
6-7, Disable FRB is disabled
Clock Enable 1-2, Protect Processor speed configuration is protected
2-3, Enable Processor speed is configurable through system BIOS
Boot Block Write Protect 13-14, Protect BIOS boot block is write-protected
14-15, Erase/Program BIOS boot block is erasable and programmable.

Caution: Should be used only by the Intel factory. Programming the boot block incorrectly will prevent the system from booting.
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 floppy diskette into the flash device. This is typically used when the BIOS code has been corrupted.
Password Clear 5-6, Protect Maintains the current system password
6-7, Erase Clears the password
CMOS Clear 1-2, Protect Preserves the contents of NVRAM
2-3, Erase Replaces the contents of NVRAM with the manufacturing default settings


Changing the Processor Speed

Default jumper settings are correct for most installations.

To set your processor speed, move the jumper labeled CLK EN to position 2-3 and enter the system BIOS setup at bootup. The processor speed on the initial BIOS screen will be set to a default of 266 MHz. Change the speed to match the speed of your boxed processor(s) and exit the BIOS setup being sure to save the settings when prompted.

Lastly, you should place the CLK EN jumper back to position 1-2 (default). This ensures that the processor speed is not reconfigured by a user while in the BIOS Setup utility. The chassis intrusion jumper should be moved to disable if the R440LX server board is going to be used in a chassis that doesn't have a chassis intrusion sensor.
