3.4 Onboard Jumpers NOTE: A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical circuit. 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/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper. The MOTHERBOARD board has the following four onboard jumpers: .

JP1 DESCRIPTION Open Slave(Default) Close Master Table 3-31: JP1 Jumper Settings 3.4.
If the MOTHERBOARD fails to boot due to improper BIOS setting, use this jumper to clear the CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper cap to close pins 2 and 3 for a few seconds then reinstall the jumper clip back to pins 1 and 2. If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message displays during the boot up process, try to correct the fault by pressing the F1 to enter the CMOS Setup menu.
Jumper Label: JP6 Jumper Type: 3-pin header Jumper Settings: See Table 3-34 Jumper Location: See Figure 3-29 This jumper allows the user to set the voltage for the LCD panel. Before setting this jumper please refer to the LCD panel user guide to determine the required voltage. After the required voltage is known, make the necessary jumper setting in accordance with the settings shown in Table 3-34 (LCDVCC signal indicates pin 27-30 defined in Table 3-16: LVDS Connector Pinouts).

Appendix A: Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.

Appendix B: Digital I/O One characteristic of digital circuit is its fast response to high or low signal. This kind of response is highly needed for harsh and critical industrial operating environment. That’s why we design 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs on the MOTHERBOARD. Digital Input and Output, generally, are control signals. You can use these signals to control external devices that needs On/Off circuit or TTL devices.
