Changing the Jumper and DIP Switch Settings

The main system board in your computer has a number of jumpers and DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches. These devices control the operation of your system and provide configuration information to your CMOS ROM.

The jumpers control the following functions:

qEnable or disable the built-in VGA display adapter

qSpecify the type of CPU installed

qSpecify the amount of external cache.

The DIP switches control these functions:

qSpecify a color or monochrome monitor

qSpecify the type of CPU installed on your system board

qEnable or disable the password

qSelect the processor speed.

Jumpers and DIP switches are preset at the factory to match your system’s configuration, but you may need to change them when you install certain options or want to change some functions. The following tables list the jumpers and DIP switches inside your system.
