Hans,
Orient the drive so that the main connector is to the left and
the "Adjust" trimpot is in the upper right-hand corner.
Call the top row of the header pins "1, 2, 3, and 4", left to right.
Call the bottom row "5, 6, 7, and 8".
The jumpers should be "2 to 6" and "7 to 8" for full current, standby
enabled.
