Appendix B: Write-protecting your configuration
IMPORTANT: Take care to observe anti-static precautions if you are
to open the computer's casing and ensure (for your own safety's sake)
that you disconnect from the mains first !
Once you have set your computer's configuration and are happy with those settings, you
might choose to protect those settings by breaking the link which the RED jumper makes (
you can leave the jumper attached to just one pin without it making the connection). In order
to do this, it will mean opening the computer's case to access the jumper which is located on
the motherboard as illustrated. Once this method of configuration protection has been
implemented it means that even when submitted to a
<DEL>+Power-on 'Hard reset' you compuer will not lose its configuration settings. In order
for you to make alterations to the computer's configuration, the jumper will have to be
replaced. There is only one RED jumper (all the others are black).
