Jumper and Switch Settings
This chapter explains how to set up ARK-2121S Series hardware, including instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, and how to set switches and read indicators.
Be sure to read all the safety precautions before beginning the installation procedure.
3.1 Setting Jumpers and Switches
It is possible to configure the In-Vehicle Computing Box to match the needs of the application by resetting the jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch. It consists 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, connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper, remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper has three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, connect either pins 1 and 2, or pins 2 and 3.

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If there are any doubts about the best hardware configuration for the application, contact the local distributor or sales representative before making any changes.
An arrow is used on the motherboard to indicate the first pin of each jumper.
