S MANUAL

2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting jumpers. Jumper is consists of two or three metal

pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by using a small plastic "cap", Also

known as the jumper cap (with a metal contact inside), you are able to connect the pins.

So you can set-up your hardware configuration by "open" or "close" pins.

The jumper can be combined into sets that called jumper blocks. When the jumpers are all

in the block, you have to put them together to set up the hardware configuration. The figure

below shows how this looks like.

JUMPERS AND CAPS

If a jumper has three pins (for examples, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3), You can connect

PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting by shorting. You can either connect PIN2 & PIN3 to

create another setting. The same jumper diagrams are applied all through this manual. The

figure below shows what the manual diagrams look and what they represent.
