Standard Address Assignments for Computers
To set desired board address, refer to the illustrated Board Address setup program on the CD provided
with the board. Type the desired address in hexadecimal code and the graphic display shows you how
to set the Address Setup jumpers. These jumpers are marked A4-A9 and form a binary representation
of the address in negative-true logic. (assign '0' to all Address Setup jumpers placed ON the posts, and
assign '1' to all Address Setup jumpers left OFF.)
