Configuring System Jumpers

Before You Begin

Only a qualified technical person should perform the procedures in this section.

!CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the system board. Modify the system board only at an ESD workstation. Otherwise, wear an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground.

The jumper blocks on the I/O riser board enable you to set specific operating parameters for your system. A jumper is a small plastic-encased conductor (shorting plug) that slips over two jumper pins.

Figure 3-2 shows the location of the system jumpers. There are two jumper blocks on the I/O riser board that make up the system jumpers. The “Processor Speed" jumper block and the "System Function" jumper block. Table 3-4 lists the "Processor Speed" jumpers and their factory default settings and Table 3-5 lists the "System Function" jumpers and their factory default settings.
