About 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-423 or EIA-232D signal levels. EIA-423 levels are the default standard for North American users. EIA-232D levels are required for digital telecommunication in nations of the European Community.

The figure below shows the jumper locations, and the table describes their function.
