Jumpers

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper
pins (JP) on the motherboard. See "Map of the ASUS Motherboard" for locations of
jumpers. The jumper settings will be described numerically such as [----I, [l-2],
1 for our motherboards is always on top
motherboard with the keyboard connector away from yourself. A "1" is written
besides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. The jumpers will also be shown graphi-
cally such as m to connect pins l&2 and [ to connect pins 2&3. Jumpers
with two pins will be shown as m for Short (On) and m for Open (Off). For
manufacturing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing pins from other groups. Use
the diagrams in this manual instead of following the pin layout on the board. Set-
tings with two jumper numbers require that both jumpers be moved together. To
connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins as diagramed.
WARNING: Computer motheboards and components contain very delicate
Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect the motherboard and other compo-
nents against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precau-
tions whenever you work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or
circuitry.
3. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with
the component whenever the components are separated from the system.
