Changing a Jumper Setting

The short general procedure for changing a configuration setting is the same for most of the jumper functions, so it is described here.

To Change a Jumper Setting

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of “Static Electricity Precautions” on page 2.

2.Turn off all connected peripherals, turn off system power, and disconnect all AC power cords.

3.Remove the access cover.

4.Remove the foam insert from the electronics bay.

5.Locate the configuration jumpers at the edge of the system board toward the front of the system (see Figure 29 on page 72).

6.Move the jumper to the pins specified for the desired setting.

7.Reinstall the foam insert and the access cover using the original screws, connect the power cords, and turn on the system for the change to take effect.

8.You may need to repeat these steps to move the jumper back to its original setting, depending on the jumper function.

Note:

You do not need to remove the system board from the chassis, and you probably do not need to remove any expansion cards.
