Additional jumper options on J5.


	Remote LED connector J5 pin 9(top pin is negative) 
	and 10(bottom pin is positive).

Additional jumper options on J4.


	Write protect on (disables writing) jumper pins 1-2.
	Write protect off no jumper on pins 1-2 (default).

Disable parity check jumper pins 7-8 on J4. Enable parity check (default) no jumper on pins 7-8.

Enable motor start. The drive waits for the start Unit command from the host before starting the spindle motor jumper pins 5-6 on J4.

Disable motor start (default). The drive starts according to the Delay Motor Start option setting as described below - No jumper on J4 pins 5-6.

Motor start delay equal to the SCSI ID multiplied by 10 seconds plus 3 seconds - jumper pins 3-4 on J4.
