JUMPER DESCRIPTIONS
The ZT 8905 includes a few jumper options for features that cannot be provided for through the
SETUP utility. As shown in the "Socket T6C Location" figure below, the jumpers are all located
underneath the EPROM/FLASH socket (this is the socket used for the alternate boot image). Note
that this socket is not normally occupied, allowing the jumpers to be easily accessed. Refer to
Appendix A, "Board Configuration," for details.

ZT 8905 SETUP
The ZT 8905 has many features that can be configured with the BIOS SETUP utility. The SETUP
utility is executed during the boot sequence when the "s" key is typed. In DOS systems, SETUP may
be executed by running the SETUP.COM program from the command line.
The BIOS SETUP utility on all Ziatech CPUs allows configuration of options such as base memory
and extended memory size selection, boot source, hard disk type, and floppy disk type. On the
ZT 8905, the BIOS SETUP also allows routing of interrupts, memory mapping, and I/O mapping for
the STD 32 bus. Previous generation CPU products required jumpers to configure these options.
This change makes configuration both faster and more intuitive. PCI peripherals are also
automatically configured through the BIOS.
The following topics present an introduction to the setup and configuration of the ZT 8905.
