VL-486-4 Reference Manual
Configuration – 17
Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the on-board options for the VL-486-4 CPU card.
Configuration involves both hardware (jumper) and software (chipset) configuration. The
jumpers configure the circuitry on the card for various modes of operation. The software
configuration completes the process by initializing the circuits within the chipset. This chapter
does not describe how to initialize the standard DOS peripheral devices such as the serial ports
and disk drive interfaces.
Hardware Jumper Summary
Hardware option configuration is accomplished by installing or removing jumper plugs. In this
chapter, the term “in” is used to indicate an installed jumper and “out” is used to indicate a
removed jumper.
Use the following key to interpret the jumper diagrams used in this manual:
