2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS
You can configure your board by setting jumpers. Jumper is consists of two or
three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by using a small
plastic "cap", Also known as the jumper cap (with a metal contact inside), you
are able to connect the pins. So you can set-up your hardware configuration by
"open"or "close"pins.
The jumper can be combined into sets that called jumper blocks. When the
jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to set up the hardware
configuration. The figure below shows how this looks like.
JUMPERS AND CAPS
If a jumper has three pins (for examples, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3), You
can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting by shorting. You can either
connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper diagrams are
applied all through this manual. The figure below shows what the manual
diagrams look and what they represent.
