numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are Placed on the correct pins.
The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper.When the jumper cap is placed on bothpins, the jumper is SHORT. If you
re-move the jumper cap, or place the jumpercap on just one pin, the jumper is OPEN.
This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper.Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.
