Follow the messages below to avoid your systems from damage:
1. Keep your system away from static electricity on all occasions.
2. Prevent electric shock. Don’t touch any components of this card when the card is
power-on. Always disconnect power when the system is not in use.
3. Disconnect power when you change any hardware devices. For instance, when
you connect a jumper or install any cards, a surge of power may damage the
electronic components or the whole system.

2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS
You can configure your board by setting jumpers. Jumper is 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 "open" or "close" pins.
The jumper can be combined into sets that 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 how this looks like.
JUMPERS AND CAPS
If a jumper has three pins (for examples, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3), You can
connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting by shorting. You can either connect PIN2
& PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper diagrams are applied all through
this manual. The figure below shows what the manual diagrams look and what they
represent.

convenient for modifications and customization of the computer system and allows
technicians another method for finding solutions if hardware has any problems.
The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the
