Configuring the System 3-47

the system. Doing so can damage the operating system.

Jumper Settings
Some devices in the system have pins that must be jumpered according to
way the device is used in your computer, or the way your system is
configured. For example, a hard drive or CD-ROM drive must be
jumpered as a master or slave device to correspond to the way it is cabled.
See the following sections for information on jumpering the devices in the
system.
System Board Jumper Settings
System board jumpers enable you to configure your system for a
particular system requirement.
Conditions that require changing jumper settings include the following
situations:
!
You are upgrading your processor. You must jumper the system board
for Configure mode and then change the processor speed in the
Maintenance menu of the BIOS Setup utility.
!
You forgot your password and cannot boot your system. You need to
set a jumper to “clear” your current password.
!
Your BIOS has become corrupted and you must perform a BIOS
Recovery. This entire procedure is performed in conjunction with a
BIOS Recovery diskette. This procedure is seldom required; if it is,
see the instructions that are provided with the diskette.
You can obtain the BIOS Recovery program by downloading it to a
diskette from the NECC File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site or the NECC
website. See Chapter 7 for information on how to access the files and
download them onto a diskette.
