ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity. To prevent chipsets
from electrostatic discharge damage, please take care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install them.
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a few seconds. It discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores, when
handling boards and components.

2.3 Jumper Settings
Jumper is a small component consisting of jumper clip and jumper pins. Install jumper clip on 2
jumper pins to close. And remove jumper clip from 2 jumper pins to open. The following
illustration shows how to set up jumper.
Before applying power to MANO315 Series, please make sure all of the jumpers are in factory
default position. Below you can find a summary table of all jumpers and onboard default
settings.
Note
Once the default jumper setting needs to be changed, please do it under power-off
condition.

2.3.1 Clear CMOS (JP1)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can
clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the
CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS,
which includes system setup information such as system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the onboard battery.
3. Move the jumper clip from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the clip on pins 2-3
for about 5~10 seconds, then move the clip back to pins 1-2.
4. Re-install the battery.
5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter
data.
2.3.2 AT/ATX Power Mode Select (JP2)
This 3-pin (pitch=2.54mm) jumper allows you to select AT or ATX power mode.
2.3.3 COM3/COM4 Data/Power Select (JP9)
This is a 3x2-pin (pitch=2.54mm) jumper. The COM3 and COM4 ports has +5V power
capability on RI by setting JP9.

HDD Activity LED
This connection is linked to hard drive activity LED on the control panel. LED flashes
when HDD is being accessed. Pin 1 and 3 connect the hard disk drive to the front panel
HDD LED, pin 3 is assigned as cathode(-) and pin 1 is assigned as anode(+).
Power LED
Pin 2 connects anode(+) of LED and pin 4 connects cathode(-) of LED. The power LED
lights up when the system is powered on.
System Reset Switch
Pin 5 and 7 connect the case-mounted reset switch that reboots your computer without
turning off the power switch. It is a better way to reboot your system for a longer life of
system power supply.
