Main System Board Jumpers

The computer contains four blocks (groups) of jumpers: J3, JS,

119,

and J21. To access jumper blocks

119

and J21, you must

remove any option cards that are installed. You must remove the

drive housing to access jumper blocks J3 and

JS.

Caution

Do not install or

remow

any option cards when the

driw

housing is

removed from the computer. The housing stabilizes the option card riser

board and you could severely damage it if you put stress on it without

the support of the drive housing. Also, do not change the settings in the

reserved jumper block

JlO;

these jumpers must remain at their factory

settings.

Each jumper block consists of 14 jumper pins, as shown below.

Certain pin numbers and jumper functions are

labelled

beside

each jumper block on the main system board.

The tables below list the jumper settings available in each jumper

block.

DMA Controller

Direct memory access (DMA) improves system performance by

allowing devices to access the system memory directly. This

ability is provided by two

82C37-compatible direct memory

access controllers (DMACs) contained in the 82357. The seven

independent 32-bit DMA channels are listed in the table below

along

with their associated DMA controller and their device

assignments.

SIMM lnstallation

The

Express.%tion

comes with 4MB of memory provided by one

4MB SIMM (single

inline

memory module) installed on the main

system board. You can install additional SIMMs to increase your

computers memory to 32MB.

There are four SIMM sockets on the main system board. Each

socket can contain either a single-sided or doubl+sided SIMM.

The SIMMs must all be

t3Ons

(nanosecond), 3Gbit, 72-pin, gold-

leaded, fast-page mode SIMMs.

Be sure to follow these guidelines when you install SIMMs:

All SIMMs must be the same capacity

You can Install one, two, or four SIMMs; you cannot install

three SIMMs

Install multiple SIMMs for the best performance; for example,

install two 4MB SIMMs instead of one 8MB SIMM

Install the SIMMs in the sockets closest to the front of the

main system board first.

Note: To install 32MB

memory,

yaa

must remave the 4MB SIMM

that came with your system and installfour 8MB SIMMs when they

became available.

Error Codes and Messages

If the computer finds an error, it reports one of the following

types of error messages:

Power-on diagnostic and boot error messages

Error tone codes for fatal errors (that lock up the system)

Error tone codes for non-fatal errors (that do not lock up the

system).

Power-on Diagnostic and Boot Errors

When the

poweron

diagnostic tests detect an error, the

computer displays a message on the screen (as described below)

and the speaker beeps twice. If the error occurs before the

computer initializes the video display, the speaker sounds a

series of beeps (described in the next section).

Each error is identified by a message number and a countdown

number which the computer uses as it executes the test

associated with the error. For example, the following message is

countdown number 100 and error message number 0018:

100

lOO181:

Invalid confipxatim

informtim

pleaso

SEmp

The table below lists the power-on diagnostic and boot error

messages, and some basic solutions to the problems. Check the

Error Tone Codes

If power-on diagnostic tests detect an error but cannot display an

error message, the computer sounds an error tone code. The tone

code is a distinct pattern of beeps that identifies the error, such as

one beep-two beeps--one

beep. If the error is serious (fatal) the

computer locks up, but if the error is not serious (non-fatal) you

can continue using your computer.

The tables below list the fatal and non-fatal error codes.
