Chapter 2: Installation

VGA Enable/Disable

JPG1 allows you to enable or disable the VGA port. The default position is on pins 1 and 2 to enable VGA. See the table on the right for jumper settings.

I2C Bus to the PCI-E Slot

JI2C1/JI2C2 allows you to enable the I2C Bus to communicate with the PCI- Express slot. For the jumpers to work properly, please set both jumpers to the same setting. If enabled, both jumpers must be enabled. If disabled, both jumpers must be disabled. See the table on the right for jumper settings.
