Hardware Configuration
This section provides information on jumper settings and
connectors on the IB961 in order to set up a workable
system. On top of that, you will also need to install crucial
pieces such as the CPU and the memory before using
the product. The topics covered are:
•Essential installations
•Jumpers and connectors

IB961 User’s Manual
2.1 Essential Installations
2.1.1 Installing the Memory
The IB961 supports one memory socket for DDR5 modules. To install
a module, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the
following steps:
1. Align the key of the memory module with that on the memory slot
and insert the module slantwise.
2. Gently push the module in an upright position until the clips of the
slot close to hold the module in place when the module touches
the bottom of the slot.
To remove the module, press the clips outwards with both hands, and
the module will pop-up.

2.2 Setting the Jumpers
Set up and configure your IB961 by using jumpers for various settings
and features according to your needs and applications. Contact your
supplier if you have doubts about the best configuration for your use.
Jumpers are short-length conductors consisting of several metal pins
with a non-conductive base mounted on the circuit board. Jumper
caps are used to have the functions and features enabled or disabled.
If a jumper has 3 pins, you can connect either PIN1 to PIN2 or PIN2 to
PIN3 by shorting.

When two pins of a jumper are encased in a jumper cap, this jumper
is closed, i.e. turned On.
When a jumper cap is removed from two jumper pins, this jumper is
open, i.e. turned Off.
