Changing the Jumper Settings

If you change your computer’s configuration or need to alter the way it operates, you may need to change a jumper setting inside the computer.

A jumper is a small electrical connector that controls one of the computer’s functions. The jumper settings in your computer are preset at the factory; however, you can control certain features by changing the standard settings as follows:

❏Enable or disable the built-in mouse connector

❏Enable or disable a mouse installed on an option card

❏Set your monitor type to monochrome or color

❏Change the amount of your base memory

❏Enable or disable the power-on password function

❏Enable or disable the built-in VGA display adapter

❏Change the operation of the input \output ready signal.

If you add more memory to your computer by installing memory modules, you must set a group of jumpers to indicate the amount of memory you now have.

If you need to change any jumper settings, follow the instructions below.
