Note:* JMOD is a special block placed on J21 itself, connecting pins 10 and 11 together diagonally. Permanent damage to the board will occur if the JMOD jumper is installed improperly.

Boards with J101 do not use the JMOD jumper (J101 is a direct replacement for JMOD).

Pins designated should be in the closed position.
