3.15 How to Set the Serial Port Jumpers

The serial port jumpers on the main logic board (J2604 and J2605) permit the configuration of the system's two serial ports for either EIA-432 or EIA-232D signal levels. EIA-432 levels are the default standard for North American users. EIA-232D levels are required for digital telecommunication in nations of the European Economic Community.
