ECW-281B/B2-D525 Embedded System

NOTE:

jumper is a metal bridge used to close

an electrical circuit. It consists of two or

three metal pins and a small metal clip

(often protected by a plastic cover) that

slides over the pins to connect them. To

CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means

connecting the pins of the jumper with

the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper

means removing the plastic clip from a

jumper.

The WAFER-PV-D5252 motherboard has several onboard jumpers (765Table 4-2).
