Jumper Set Up

The following illustration shows how to use jumpers.

“Short” pins together by placing the jumper shunt on pins. Pins not capped with jumpers are “open”. With the illustrated 3-pin jumper, the shunt shorts pins 1 and 2. Check the corresponding header pin attributes to see what functionality is supported by shorting different pin pairs.

AT/ATX, CMOS Jumper

The following illustration shows the header without any jumpers.

This illustration shows jumpers in the default 6-4 and 5-3 positions.

Clearing the CMOS

Setting the jumper with the Clear CMOS jumper shunt allows you to clear the data in the CMOS. NOTE: Do not clear the CMOS right after updating the BIOS. You must boot up the system first and then shut it down before clearing the CMOS. NOTE: The password, date, time user default profile will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

To clear and reset system parameters to the default setup, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply.

2. Wait 15 seconds.

3. Remove the jumper shunt from pins 6 and 4 and use it to short pins 2 and 4 on the header for 5 seconds.

4. Remove the jumper shunt and return it to short pins 6 and 4.

5- Troubleshooting & FAQ

Auto power on

• Power on the CL200 and press the Esc key a few times to access the BIOS

• Navigate to the Chipset tab

• Change auto power on to [enable]

• Save & Exit

• The CL200 will now automatically turn on when power is connected

How to enable Watchdog in Ubuntu (20.04/22.04)

• Enter the BIOS and ensure that the watchdog timer is enabled. The option is at the top of the Advanced settings page.

• Install the watchdog package using `sudo apt-get install watchdog`.

• In the terminal, run `lsmod | grep wdat_wdt` to see if the watchdog module is loaded. If the command returns nothing, the module is not loaded.

• If the watchdog module is not loaded, it is likely blacklisted by default. Open `/usr/lib/modprobe.d/blacklist_linux-hwe-5.19_5.12.0-43-generic.conf` with a text editor and remove or comment out `blacklist wdat_wdt`. If there are other `blacklist_linux…` files here, ensure that the blacklist is removed from them as well.

• Open `/etc/default/watchdog` with a text editor and add or modify the watchdog module line to be as follows: `watchdog_module=”wdat_wdt”`. Other watchdog module settings can be adjusted here as well.

• Open `/etc/watchdog.conf` and add or modify the watchdog device line to be as follows: `watchdog-device = /dev/watchdog `(it may also be `watchdog0`) . There are additional settings here that can be changed as needed, such as the watchdog timeout which controls how long it takes to trigger a system reboot after an event. The timeout defaults to 60s but can be adjusted by adding the line `watchdog-timeout = #` where `#` is the desired time in seconds.

• Reboot the system.

• The following commands should be run as the root user. To confirm the watchdog timer is working correctly, you can kill the watchdog process, stopping the watchdog pulse and causing the system to reboot using the following command: `killall -STOP watchdog`, if `killall` is not available try `pkill -STOP watchdog`. A kernel panic can also be triggered and cause the watchdog to reboot the system using the following command: `echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger`.

Clear CMOS

• Locate the Clear CMOS jumpers

• Remove the black jumper from pins 6 and 4

• Install it onto pins 4 and 2, moving it down by 1 pin

• Wait 30 seconds

• Restore the jumper to its original 6-4 position

• The CMOS is now clear

mSATA/WiFi Card Installation

• Open the system following the Disassembly steps above.

• Install the WiFi and/or mSATA card as shown. Install the WiFi antenna pigtail cables as shown.

• The nuts and washers are loose for illustration purposes. They should be fully hand tightened

• Apply the thermal pad to the top of the WiFi/mSATA card. This can be located in your system’s accessories.

Optional CEC module (ADP107)

The ADP107 is a module that is installed in-line with the DisplayPort outputs on configured OnLogic systems. Its purpose is to enable Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) functionality which manages the connection between the system and any connected displays according to a set of preconfigured rules. This allows command signals to be passed to the displays when the computer starts, stops, wakes, and sleeps, in a user-configurable order after a configurable time delay.

Default Behavior

The device’s default configuration is to power up displays when the system starts/wakes and power them off when the system stops/sleeps. It is also configured by default to start the computer when the connected display powers on, and to power the computer off when the displays are powered off. The default startup delay timer is set to 5 seconds.
