Creative GCD-R542B Enabling and Disabling Jumpers, Configuring the Master/Slave Jumper Setting

Enabling and Disabling Jumpers

A jumper exists in two states: enabled or disabled. A jumper is enabled when a plastic hood called a jumper block is placed over the jumper’s two pins as shown in Figure 4-1.
