JP3, JP2 and JP4 - External Power Selector: These jumpers were
used to provide the external power to the VHDCI-68 external
connector. JP3 enables or disables the power of S1~S8, JP2
enables or disables the power of S9~S16 over their octopus
cables. JP4 is used to select the power source (5V or 12V? from
PCI golden finger or J3 AUX power connector?).
JP3(JP2)
Settings
No power supplied to the VHDCI-
68
connector(s).
(default)
The VHDCI-
68 external connector will
be p
owered by the DC power source.
The power source will be determinted
by the JP1. The VHDCI-
68 octopus
cable will route the power to the pin
#9 of each DB9 male connectors
JP1
Settings
Internal 12V:
Power source is +12VDC,
from PCI golden finger (motherboard’
s
PCI slot)
(default)
External 12V: Power source is +12VDC,
from J2 AUX power connector.
External 5V: Power source is +5VDC,
from J2 AUX power connector.

JP1- COM Ports Swapping Selector: These jumpers were used to
swap Serial Ports S1-S8 and S9-S16. Please keep them at the
default factory settings since it may confuse you about the COM
Port Numbers.
JP1
Settings
No Swapping. The COM ports will be
mapped to S1 to S16 normally.
(default)
The COM ports wil
l be swapped as
follows:
S1 S9
S2 S10
S3 S11
S4 S12
S5 S13
S6 S14
S7 S15
S8 S16
