Jumpers, Switches, and Connectors

Jumpers—A General Explanation

System Board Jumpers

System Board Connectors

Riser Board Connectors

Disabling a Forgotten Password

This section provides specific information about the system jumpers. It also provides some basic information on jumpers and switches and describes the

connectors on the various boards in the system.

Jumpers—A General Explanation

Jumpers provide a convenient and reversible way of reconfiguring the circuitry on a printed circuit board. When reconfiguring the system, you may need to

change jumper settings on circuit boards or drives.



Jumpers

Jumpers are small blocks on a circuit board with two or more pins emerging from them. Plastic plugs containing a wire fit down over the pins. The wire connects

the pins and creates a circuit. To change a jumper setting, pull the plug off its pin(s) and carefully fit it down onto the pin(s) indicated. FigureA-1 shows an

example of a jumper.

Figure A-1. Example Jumper

A jumper is referred to as open or unjumpered when the plug is pushed down over only one pin or if there is no plug at all. When the plug is pushed down

over two pins, the jumper is referred to as jumpered. The jumper setting is often shown in text as two numbers, such as 1–2. The number 1 is printed on the

circuitboardwithatrianglesothatyoucanidentifyeachpinnumberbasedonthelocationofpin1.

FigureA-2 shows the location and default settings of the server-module jumper blocks. See TableA-1 for the designations, default settings, and functions of

the jumpers.

System Board Jumpers

FigureA-2 shows the location of the configuration jumpers on the system board. TableA-1 lists the jumper settings.

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as

authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not

authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.



1. Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.



2. Open the system. See "Opening the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."



3. Remove the password jumper plug.

See FigureA-2 to locate the password jumper on the system board.

If necessary, remove the riser card insulator to improve access to the jumper. See "Removing the Riser Card" in "Installing System Components."



4. If you removed the riser card insulator in step 3, reinstall it now. See "Installing the Riser Card" in "Installing System Components."



5. Close the system. See "Closing the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."



6. Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet, and turn on the system.

The existing passwords are not disabled (erased) until the system boots with the password jumper plug removed. However, before you assign a new

system and/or setup password, you must install the jumper plug.



7. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.



8. Open the system. See "Opening the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."



9. Install the password jumper plug.

See FigureA-2 to locate the password jumper on the system board.

If necessary, remove the riser card insulator to improve access to the jumper, then reinstall the riser card insulator.



10. Close the system, reconnect the system to the electrical outlet, and turn on the system. See "Closing the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."



11. Assign a new system and/or setup password.

To assign a new password using the System Setup program, see "Using the System Setup Program" in your User's Guide.



NOTE: If you assign a new system and/or setup password with the jumper plug still removed, the system disables the new password(s) the next

time it boots.

I/O Connectors

Dell™PowerEdge™SC1425SystemsInstallationandTroubleshootingGuide

Serial Connector

PS/2-Compatible Keyboard and Mouse Connectors

Video Connector

USB Connectors

Integrated NIC Connectors

Network Cable Requirements

I/O connectors are the gateways that the system uses to communicate with external devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, or monitor. This section

describes the various connectors on your system. If you reconfigure the hardware connected to the system, you may also need the pin number and signal

information for these connectors. FigureB-1 illustrates the connectors on the system.

Figure B-1. I/O Connectors

TableB-1 shows the icons used to label the connectors on the system.

Table B-1. I/O Connector Icons

Serial Connector

Serial connectors support devices such as external modems, printers, and mice that require serial data transmission. The serial connector is also used by the

BMC to provide remote access to the system. The serial connector uses a 9-pin D-subminiature connector.



Serial Connector Autoconfiguration

The default designation of the integrated serial connector is COM1. When you add an expansion card containing a serial connector that has the same

designation as the integrated connector, the system's autoconfiguration feature remaps (reassigns) the integrated serial connector to the next available

designation. Both the new and the remapped COM connectors share the same IRQ setting. COM1 and COM3 share IRQ4, while COM2 and COM4 share IRQ3.

Before adding a card that remaps the COM connectors, check the documentation that came with the software to make sure that the software can

accommodate the new COM connector designation.

FigureB-2 illustrates the pin numbers for the serial connector and TableB-2 defines the pin assignments for the connector.

NOTE: If two COM connectors share an IRQ setting, you may not be able to use them both at the same time. In addition, if you install one or more

expansion cards with serial connectors designated as COM1 and COM3, the integrated serial connector is disabled.

Table B-2.SerialConnectorPinAssignments

PS/2-Compatible Keyboard and Mouse Connectors

The PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse cables attach to 6-pin, miniature DIN connectors. FigureB-3 illustrates the pin numbers for these connectors and

TableB-3 defines the pin assignments for these connectors.

Figure B-3. PS/2-Compatible Keyboard and Mouse Connector Pin Numbers

Table B-3. Keyboard and Mouse Connector Pin Assignments

Video Connector

You can attach a VGA-compatible monitor to the system's integrated video controller using a 15-pin high-density D-subminiature connector on the system front

or back panel. FigureB-4 illustrates the pin numbers for the video connector and TableB-4 defines the pin assignments for the connector.
