CHAPTER 2: JUMPERS & CONNECTORS
When working with the
486VP, it is extremely
important that you avoid
static electricity. Always
ground yourself by wearing
a wrist or ankle strap.
Figures 1 on the next page shows the component layout of the 486VP
system board with locations of the system board jumpers and
connectors. Note that most jumpers and connectors on the system board
are labeled with proper names with pin 1 marked as "1" or thick line. To
avoid damaging the board and to have proper operation caution should
be taken when connecting these components.
SYSTEM BOARD JUMPERS
Jumpers are used to select between various operating modes. A jumper
switch consists of two, three, or four gold pins projecting from the system
board. Placing the plastic jumper cap over two pins connects those pins
and makes a particular selection. Using the cap to cover two pins in this
way is referred to as shorting those pins (ON position). If the cap is not
placed on any pins at all, this is referred to as leaving the pins open (OFF
position).
Note:
When you open a jumper, leave the plastic jumper cap attached
to one of the pins so you don't lose it.
