This section provides instructions on how to configure your card by

setting jumpers. It also includes the card's default settings and your

options for each jumper.

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 clip (often

protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them.

To "close" (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip.

To "open" (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a

jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case

you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.

your chassis whenever you work with the hardware.

Do not make connections while the power is on.

Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by

sudden power surges. Only experienced

electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge

before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic

devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.

As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap

at all times. Place all electronic components in a

static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag when

they are not in the chassis.
