JN1 is used for VPP0 and VPP1 configuration. Since come of the NVMe controller’s LED 
management in VPP/I2C carry 2 slots information while some are carry 4 slots information. 
JN1 is designed for users to select what types of VPP protocol will be used in the 
application. 
JN1: 1-3, 2-4 shunted means VPP0 and VPP1 is separated. (
