3-1. SOFT MENU™ III Setup

The processor can be setup through a programmable switch (SOFT MENU™ III) that replaces the traditional manual hardware configuration. This feature allows the user to more easily complete the installation procedures. You can install the processor without configuring any jumpers or switches. The processor must be setup according its specifications. In the first option, you can press <Enter> at any time to display all the items that can be chosen for that option.
