IBM ValuePoint - Planar video control jumpers

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
Installation of an IBM or OEM video adapter card in models 425SX and 433DX of the 6384 PS/ValuePoint systems, requires that the Planar Video be disabled. 6384 425SX models (F00, F20 or F40) are equipped with the video disable jumpers in location JP10 and JP1. For video adapter card installation, the JP10 jumper should be moved from the pins 2-3 (normal) to pins 1-2 (video disable). JP1* should be removed from one of the pins.

6384 433DX models (M00, M40 or M50) are equipped with video disable jumpers in location JP10 and JP17. For video adapter card installation, the JP10 jumper should be moved from pins 2-3 (normal) to pins 1-2. JP17** should be removed from one of the pins.

6384 325T models (C00, C20 and C40) do not support disabling Planar Video at this time. For further details, utilise the normal support structure to obtain assistance from BOCA Raton Level 2 support. This tip will be updated with new information regarding video disabling on the 325T models as it becomes available.

* JP1 is not identified in the HMS/HMR when viewing the system board with the external connector ports facing away, JP1 is located on the right side, near the centre of the riser connector.

** JP17 is not identified in the HMS/HMR. It is located between JP305 and JP4 (JP305 & JP4 locations are noted in the "System Board Layouts" section of the HMS/HMR).

Note:
6384 433DX and 425SX models will not complete POST and IPL if the Planar Video is disabled with no video adapter installed.
