MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTES

The function of JP1 is to determine the select technique used to interface the host adapter.

Soldering Pin-2 to Pin "P" allows for the "pulse" select that is used by controllers designed to work with SCSI hosts. Soldering Pin-2 to Pin "H" or "L" allows for the "handshake" or "level" select signal used in accordance with SCSI standards.

Unit attention (JP5/6) is not supported if the JP5/4 jumper is installed on the ACB-4525S4000.
