This section will explain how to configure the VIA EPIA-P910 to match the needs of your application by

setting the jumpers.

Jumper Description

A jumper consists of a pair conductive pins used to close in or bypass an electronic circuit to set up or

configure a particular feature using a jumper cap. The jumper cap is a small metal clip covered by plastic.

It performs like a connecting bridge to short (connect) the pair of pins. The usual colors of the jumper cap

are black/red/blue/white/yellow.

Jumper Setting

There are two settings of the jumper pin: "Short and Open". The pins are "Short" when a jumper cap is

placed on the pair of pins. The pins are "Open" if the jumper cap is removed.

In addition, there are jumpers that have three or more pins, and some pins are arranged in series. In case

of a jumper with three pins, place the jumper cap on pin 1 and pin 2 or pin 2 and 3 to Short it.

Some jumpers size are small or mounted on the crowded location on the board that makes it difficult to

access. Therefore, using a long-nose plier in installing and removing the jumper cap is very helpful.

Caution:

Make sure to install the jumper cap on the correct pins. Installing it in the wrong pins might cause damage and

malfunction.
