2-1 Setting System Jumpers
You may configure your motherboard to match the needs of your applica-
tions by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a jumper,
you connect the pins with the clip. To "open" a jumper, you remove the
clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, 3. In this case
you would connect either pin 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
