Jumper configurations

There are very few jumpers that will ever need changing, most of them have been factory set for your system and its needs, but for completeness, the details are given here.

Internal speaker operation

PL2

Next to outer SIMM socket, default position link pins 4

 

and 5 gives audio output to the internal speaker in mono.

 

Only to be removed in a system having internal stereo

 

speakers.

Internal ‘audio’ modem

PL4

Just along from the CD audio connection, default position

 

if no internal modem is fitted, link pins 3 and 4. Remove

 

only when fitting an internal modem supporting sound.

BIOS reprogramme

These links are for special purposes. Only to be used for an official upgrade to the system BIOS. Do not move for any other reason.

PL5

Next to PL2, normal link 2 and 3. This link is used in the

 

event of a disaster occurring during an upgrade to the

 

system BIOS. Link moved to pins 1 and 2 will enable the

 

system to be booted up from an internal backup of the

 

BIOS held in a secure area in the system ROM.

PL6

Normal link 2 and 3, move to pins 1 and 2 to enable

 

BIOS reprogramming (requires specialist software).

PL13 Next to floppy disk ribbon connector, default position link pins 3 and 4. To enable 3-mode operation of the drive (not usual in Europe), link 1 to 3, and 2 to 4.
