1.7 Safety Precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from chassis whenever
you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power
is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden
power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the
PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to electro-
static discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface
or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.
There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.
Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the
battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the man-
ufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting
the jumpers. It also includes the motherboards's default settings and your options for
each jumper.
1.8.1 How to Set Jumpers
You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by set-
ting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes 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” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins
with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a
jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect
either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when set-
ting jumpers.
1.8.2 CMOS Clear (JCMOS1)
The SIMB-982 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset
the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2
closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few
seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the
CMOS to its default setting.

1.8.7 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)
The SIMB-982 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU. This feature means
the SIMB-982 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1
jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the
watchdog timer is tripped.

1.9 System Memory
SIMB-982 has two 288-pin memory sockets for DDR4 1866/2133 MHz memory mod-
ules with maximum capacity of 32 GB (Maximum 16 GB for each DIMM). SIMB-982
only supports non-ECC DDR4 memory modules.
Please note that SIMB-982 does NOT support registered DIMMs (RDIMMs).
1.10 Memory Installation Procedures
To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the
“open” position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along
the plastic guides on both ends of the socket, and then press the DIMM module right
down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have auto-
matically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To
remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory mod-
ule will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.
1.11 Cache Memory
The SIMB-982 supports a CPU last Level Cache.
The built-in second-level cache in the processor yields much higher performance
than conventional external cache memories.
1.12 Processor Installation
The SIMB-982 is designed for LGA1151, Core i7/Core i5/Core i3, Pentium,
Celeron processor.

2.4 Serial Ports and DVI-D Connector
(COM1~COM10/DVI-D1)
SIMB-982 supports 10 serial ports. COM1 supports RS-232/422/485 function and
RI/12V/5V switching by jumper selection. COM2 supports RS-232 function and
RI/12V/5V switching by jumper selection. COM3~10 supports RS-232.
The IRQ and address ranges for both ports are fixed. However, if you want to disable
the port or change these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup.
Different devices implement the RS-232 standards in different ways. If you have
problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assignments for the connec-
tor.
