Pre-Installation Procedure
Before you install your motherboard into a chassis, it’s convenient to install
the CPU, install the memory modules, and set all the jumpers to correct
settings.
Jumpers Setting Explain
This motherboard has jumpers that need to be set correctly. You can use a
jumper cap to connect two adjacent pins. When a jumper cap connects two
pins, we say that the pin are SHORT. If you remove a jumper cap from two
pins (or placed on just a single pin), we say that the pin are OPEN. The
examples and illustrations below show the different positions of a jumper cap
on the typical 3-Pin jumper. By changing the jumper cap, you change the
circuit of the motherboard and enable or disable certain feature or properties
of the board.
