BIOS Setup Configuration Jumper (J6J3) Settings
The 3-pin jumper block determines the BIOS Setup program's mode. The table below describes the jumper settings for the three
modes: normal, configure, and recovery. When the jumper is set to configure mode and the computer is powered-up, the BIOS
compares the processor version and the microcode version in the BIOS and reports if the two match.
