Model 466-1 Adapter

22 SBus Adapter Card Configuration

3.5.4 Jumper 4

Jumper 4

is not used in the Model 466-1 application.

3.6 SBus Adapter Card LEDs

There is one LED on the SBus adapter card:

The LED labeled

READY

is on when the logic arrays on the card are

successfully loaded after power-on.

This LED must be on for the card to

operate.
