I have a Fahrenheit 1280 D (the local bus version) but the book covers both.

JP2	Motherboard Compatibility	Default 2 & 3 connected

	If system does not boot,	connect pins 1 & 2
	If sign-on msg is scrambled at boot-up,	
					connect 2 & 3
	If graphics modes are scrambled in software,
					connect 2 & 3

SW1, SW2	Refresh Rates
				Vert refresh Rates
	SW1	SW2	640x480	800x600	1024x768	1280xXX

	off	off	72 Hz	72 Hz	60 Hz		43 Hz    Default
	on	off	72	72	70		48
	off	on	60	56	45		N/A
	on	on	60	60	60		N/A

SW3		ESR Switch		DEfault OFF

	For Revision B boards only - shadow ROM conflicts
	If using Video Shadow ROM and system won't boot, set SW3 ON

SW4	Speed Booster Option		Default OFF

To set switches ON, move towards the numbers.

all the best,
