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.
