I'll do that, probably Thursday. I recall changing that jumper on the 
GO704 build, but cannot now recall where its at in the ARK box running 
the 6040. I do know the cnc4pc-C1G in that box is powered from a 5V 5A 
Switcher as it has no other power provisions, and it may also be 
powering the 7i76D's 5 volts. The 12 volts for field power is a separate 
small supply of similar wattage.
