pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover), which slides over the
pins to close the circuit and connect them. To “close” a jumper, connect the pins with
the clip. To “open” a jumper, remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper has three pins,
labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, it is possible to connect either pins 1 and 2 or pins 2

the local distributor or sales representative before making any changes.
An arrow is printed on the motherboard to indicate the first pin of each jumper.
