1.5..2 Jumper Settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper.
After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also need to
run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 6) to configure the
serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and system
operating parameters. Connections, such as hard disk cables, appear
in Chapter 2.
For the locations of each jumper, see the board layout diagram
depicted earlier in this chapter.
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal cap (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a
jumper you connect the pins with the cap. To "open" a jumper you
remove the cap. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2
and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:
Open Closed Closed 2-3
You may find a pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the
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.
