Pins 0 and 1 are the pins closest to the top of the board. There are three sets of two
pins. Place the jumper on the 0 and 1 pin set.This is done for Zeroizing the Hardware card
Caution - The board does not function with the jumper on pins 0 and 1.Hardware Jumper Block Pins

firmware, key material, and configuration information is deleted. This process
returns the board to the factory state and places the board in Failsafe mode.
5. Power off the system.
6. Remove the jumper from pins 0 and 1 of the jumper block and store the jumper in
the original location.
Note - You can safely store the jumper on pins 3 and 5. This location does not affect
any operation of the board
