Figure 8-Jumper installation for 120 Volt Operation (left side) and 240 Volt (right side) 

 

Figure 9-Power Supply before transformer is installed, wired for 120 Volts 

These Components Are Not Loaded 

Three-pin headers TB1-TB6 and two-pin headers TB7-TB10 are not loaded in the 
standard kit assembly. You will solder to some of these locations in later assembly steps, 
but for now, the assembly of the power supply is complete.
