Notes:

1.Turn off the server; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables. before moving any jumpers.

2.Jumpers J19 and J3 are located on the same jumper block as jumpers J14 and J15 on the system board. These jumpers are set to Disabled. Do not change the settings on these jumpers.

Attention: If you change the settings on these jumpers, the server will fail.

3.See “Changing jumper positions” on page 69 for additional information on setting jumpers.
