UPS25  15   RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc 
Base address jumper (Factory setting: 300h) 
The  UPS25 is I/O mapped into the memory space of your host computer. The 
board occupies a consecutive memory window of 2 bytes starting from the base 
address. 
The most common cause of failure when you are first setting  up your 
module is address contention.  Some of your computers I/O space is already 
occupied  by  other  devices  and  memory  resident  programs.  When  the  UPS25 
attempts  to use it's own reserved memory addresses (which are being already 
used by another peripheral device) erratic performance may occur and the data 
read from the board may be corrupted. 
To avoid this problem make sure you set up the base address by using the three 
jumpers  marked “J14”,  this  allows  you  to  choose  from  a  number  of  different 
addresses in your host computer’s I/O map. Should the factory-installed setting of 
300h be incompatible to your system configuration, you may change this setting 
to another using the options illustrated in Table 2-2 (overleaf). The table shows 
the jumper settings and their corresponding values in hexadecimal form. Ensure 
that you verify the correct location of the base address jumpers. When the 
jumper is removed it corresponds to a logical "0", connecting the jumper to a "1". 
When you set the base address of the module, record the setting inside the back 
cover of this manual.
