To quote from the manual, pp50:

Switch 1, interrupt enable:
	This switch must be closed in order for any interrupts
	generated by the hard drive to pass through to the 
	Apple.  (Interrupts are not used at this time.)

Switch 2, PS enable:
	When pseudo-slotting in the Apple IIgs, this switch must
	be closed.  When pseudo-slotting in the //e or ][+, this
	switch must be open.

Switch 3, ][+ boot enable:
	Leaving this switch open allows a II+ or an unenhanced //e
	to boot directly from the hard disk.  If the hard disk is
	not to be the boot device in these systems, this switch
	should be closed.  In a IIgs or an enhanced //e, this switch
	should also be closed.

Switch 4, Pseudo-Slot Enable:
	When this switch is closed, the controller card will show
	up in slot 7, no matter which slot it is in.  With it open,
	the card uses the slot in which it is placed.
