Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration 9
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 3) 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.
How to set jumpers
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 clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a
jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you
remove the clip. 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.
You may find 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.
