Switch positions 1 - 7 of S1 configure the I/O address of the WDT. Switches represent a binary 0 in the ON position, a binary 1 when OFF. Least significant bit (LSB) and most significant bit (MSB) are labeled on the card. Table 1 shows the numerical weight and electrical connection of each switch.

Any I/O address may be used, but it is important that no other device in the host computer use that address. Table 2 is a list of frequently unused I/O addresses. In most cases, the WDT can be set to one of these addresses.
