Jumper Settings - Advantech MIC-3385 Manual

1.6.2 Jumper Settings

This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each
jumper. After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also
need to run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 6) to
configure the serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types
and system operating parameters. Connections, such as hard disk
cables, appear in Chapter 2.
For the locations of each jumper, see the board layout diagram
depicted earlier in this chapter.
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical
circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal cap (often
protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To "close" a jumper you connect the pins with the cap. To
"open" a jumper you remove the cap. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you connect either
pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales
representative before you make any changes.
