Gateway 7210 Manual De Usuario

Setting the system board jumpers          

The following table shows the settings required to allow programming of the 
BMC boot block. Make sure you turn off the computer and unplug the power 
cord before moving the jumper..

The 7210 server supports fault resilient booting (FRB) which causes the second 
processor to take over the boot process if the first processor fails to respond 
within a specified time. The FRB Enable jumper on the system board (pins 1 
through 3 on jumper J3J1) lets you enable FRB. (See the figure on page 8 for 
the location of the jumper.)

The following table shows the settings required to enable FRB. Make sure you 
turn off the computer and unplug the power cord before moving the jumper.
