1-3 Safety Precautions

Follow the practices below to prevent electrical damage to
personnel and to the computer:

1.Employ standard ESD precautions when working with this
product and its components. Static electricity can damage
semiconductor devices.

2.Take precautions against electric shock. Do not touch any
components of this card when the card is on. Disconnect the
power cord when the system is not in use.

3.Disconnect the power cord when you change any hardware
devices. For instance, when you connect a jumper or install
any cards, a surge of power may damage electronic
components that affect the whole system.

Hardware Configuration

2-3 How to Set Jumpers

You can configure your board by setting the jumpers. Jumper
consists of two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted
on the card, and by using a small plastic “cap”, Also known as
the jumper cap (with a metal contact inside), you are able to
connect the pins. So you can set-up your hardware
configuration by “opening” or “closing” the pins.

The jumper can be combined into sets called jumper blocks.
When the jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them
together to set up the hardware configuration. The figure below
shows what this looks like.

JUMPERS AND CAPS

Pin Jumper

3 Pin Jumper

Jumper Block

Jumper Cap

If a jumper has three pins (for example, labelled PIN1, PIN2,
and PIN3), You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting
and shorting. You can connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another
setting. The same jumper diagrams are applied all through this
manual. The figures on the next page will show you what the
manual diagrams look like and what they represent.

COM2 is selectable for RS-232, RS-422, or RS- 485
functionality. (A COM2 connector is available on the IPC-623C
board. To use COM2, you must attach a cable to this
connector. This attached cable must terminate to a receptacle
that can be mounted on the backplane of the CommPlete 4000
chassis.)
