2-3. HOW TO SET 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.
