Setting the Jumpers

To change a jumper setting, follow these steps:

Refer to the illustration under “Locating System Board
Components” to locate the jumpers.

If any option cards are installed in your computer, you
may need to remove them to access the jumpers. See

“Removing an Option Card” for instructions.

A jumper’s setting is determined by where the jumper is
placed on the pins. Use the table below to identify the pin

settings for 2-, 3-, and 4-pin jumpers. (To identify the pin

numbers, look at the system board under the jumper.)
