Excellent connectivity is provided by embedded 10/100Mbps Fast
Ethernet connection. Two DIMM slots for a total of 1GB RAM
memory ensures that users have more than enough memory to
handle leading applications. Moreover, one CompactFlashTM Type II
slot is supported as external storage. The SBC-780 series is fully
functional, offering comprehensive I/O support, including 4 USB
ports for connecting the latest peripherals. The SBC-780 series is
equipped with the range of legacy ports, including a parallel port, an
IrDA port, and an AC -97 2.1/SoundBlaster compatible audio.

2.1 Safety Precautions
Always completely disconnect the power cord from
your board whenever you are working on it. Do not
make connections while the power is on, because a
sudden rush of power can damage sensitive
electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge
before touching the board. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative surface
or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the
chassis

2.6 Setting Jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting
jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two
metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the
pins with the clip.
To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have
three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1
and 2 or 2 and 3.

Open Closed Closed 2-3
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
If you have any doubt about the best hardware configuration for your
application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you
make any change.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
