Help please regarding jumper NF7-S

Hello

Whilst swapping over my case to another I accidentally caught and pulled
off, with my video card, a yellow jumper that is connected to two of three
pins and is between the PWR Fan header and the USB block, near the AGP
port - just above it and to the left.

I have downloaded the latest manual but that doesn't help me any more than
the printed one so can anyone help me to know where this jumper is
positioned on the pins...?

Knowing what it does might be useful as well

Thanks for your help

Does it have a red/orange 3-pin block to the right of it? If yes, the
yellow one on mine is connected to pins 2-3, (2-3 being the pins closest to
the red block).

Don't know what it does though, I'll see if I can find out.

Thank you very much for your help. It was indeed that jumper and I have been
able to find this out, as I posted my plea in another forum as well - being
desperate to switch the system on but also being unsure as to the position
of importance of the jumper.....

As for the unlabeled jumper near the LAN/USB ports, it is to switch the USB
power.

1-2 (default): USB device uses 5V dual power. When the system is off,
optical mouse LED keeps light, and wake-up by keyboard/mouse function
enabled.
2-3: USB device uses VCC power. When the system is off, optical mouse LED
goes out, but wake-up by keyboard/mouse function disabled.

I do wish that Abit would have listed every jumper on the motherboard and
its purpose, it would have been useful.

Thanks again for your help

It is on the latest Rev of the Manual on the Taiwan server but i don't think
that the US server has the latest.

 

I will get the latest manual now - thanks

Hmm, I tried that switched the jumper but the light of the optical mouse
stays on after shut down.

 

I think that jumper is being confused with the one behind the PS2 ports
for the mouse and keyboard. The jumper behind the PS2 ports is the one
for turning off the mouse LED. Try that and see what happens.

It shouldn't. My mouse optical mouse shuts off by using that jumper.
Are you sure it's the right jumper? It's around a half inch below the ATX
connector right?

It could be either one. It depends on what kind of mouse your using and how it
is connected to the system. You could be using a USB mouse with a PS2 adapter
or without the adapter. Then both jumpers would shut it off depending on how
its connected.

 

That sounds very logical
But I use a PS2 mouse and it works, I'm very pleased with it, thanks ))

One other strange thing, sometimes I use Abit EQ for monitoring my fanspeeds
and temps, when I putt the powersupply fan at the powerfanconnector on the
motherboard there is no readout when I putt it on the cha-fanconnector i
Have a readout, any idea ?

If you have a fan that has a third yellow rpm wire it should show the rpm's on
every connector.

I am using all three fan connectors and I am able to monitor all of them.

One thing it could be is the resolution of the connector. Look for a divisor
setting in Abit EQ. I'm not sure if there is one though. I use MBPROBE to
monitor my NF7-S. The fan is probably spinning so low on that connector its not
being detected. The way that you can test is to try a faster fan on that
connector and see if it's detected.
I would also look in the bios to see if it's detected.

 

The red light should stay on after shutdown, is your BIOS set for USB
support, and is that support for BIOS or OS?, should be set for O/S,
and are your drivers the latest or did you use the ones from the CD
that came with the MOBO in which case they are prolly very old and out
of date.

No, but the cha-fanconnector doesn't care.

I think it is, it's 1562 rpm

The power supply is from an Antec Sonata

I leave it as it is it's not really a problem.
All runs fine 3200XP @ 2412 Mhz and not to loud ))

Thanks

 

No, but the cha-fanconnector doesn't care.

All of the fan connections can be monitored if the fan has a yellow rpm wire.

That rpm is not very high that is probably why it is not being detected. You
need to look for a divisor setting in Abit EQ if there is one so the fan will
be detected. Try using mbprobe, it will give you all the voltages, temps and
fan speeds for the NF7-S. Its a small program thats why I like it. It doesn't
have all the extra bells and whistles like motherboard monitor but its easy to
use and monitors enough things for me.

All I was saying is if you want to know for sure if there is anything wrong
with the connector put a faster fan on there just to test it. If you see the
rpm's in Abit EQ with a faster fan then you know its because the powr supply
fan is spinning so slow. After you test it put the PS fan back on it.

 

I know, but it's not a problem, my system really Rocks and is solid ))

 

You brought it up as if it was a problem. I was telling you how to fix it.

 

Sorry for that and your advice is very usefull, but I was thinking may be
it's something simple like the dipswitch as the mouse

No, there are not any switches for the fan headers.
Its because the fan is spinning so slowly its not being detected. That's why
some monitor programs have divisor settings you can change.
