This section describes how to set the jumpers on the SSP board.
On a 14-pin jumper group, notations such as "1/2" or "7/8" will be used to indicate that you should
install a shorting block or wire between pins 1 and 2 or between pins 7 and 8.
On a 3-pin jumper group, the jumper should always be between pins 1 and 2 ("1/2") or between pins 2
and 3 ("2/3").
On a 2-pin jumper group, the jumper will be either present or absent. The notation "short" will
indicate that you should install a jumper between pins 1 and 2, while "open" will indicate that you
should leave it out.
