Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the mother-

board, jumpers can be used to choose

between optional settings. Jumpers cre-

ate shorts between two pins to change

the function of the connector. Pin 1

is identifi ed with a square solder pad

on the printed circuit board. See the

motherboard layout pages for jumper

locations.

Note:

On two pin jumpers,

"Closed" means the jumper

is on and "Open" means the

jumper is off the pins.
