Locating Jumpers & Connectors Setting Jumpers You configure your PCM-3420 card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. Jumpers are the simplest kind of electric switch. They consist 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 3 three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case

Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connec- Warning ! tions. Safety Precautions Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connec- tions while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power . Caution ! Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the card. Modern e
