Safety Precautions

WARNING!

Always completely disconnect the power cord from 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 electronic personnel should open the PC chassis.

CAUTION

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.

2.2 Setting Jumpers

2.2.1 Jumper Settings

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the

motherboard. A metal-bridge jumper used to close an electric circuit, and it usually

consists of two metal pins and one small clip protected by a plastic cover that slides

over the pins to connect them. Users can connect the pins with the clip to close a

jumper, and remove the clip to open a jumper. Generally, a jumper will have three

pins which labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either pins 1 and 2, or

2 and 3.

The jumper setting diagram is shown below. When the jumper cap is placed on both

pins, the jumper is SHORT. The illustration below shows a 3-pin jumper; pins 1 and 2

are short. If you remove the jumper cap, the jumper is OPEN.

NOTE:

A pair of needle nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your

application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before

you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to

make most connections.
