For JP20 pins designated should be in a closed position. When VGA mode is enabled, the settings of JP20 and S4/switch 1 - 4 are ignored. The options with a (*) in front of them require an add-on card to function. |
MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTES |
The function of S2/switch 4 is undocumented. All other jumpers are for factory tests and should remain factory-configured. |
