Glossary
jumper
Jumper pins allow you to set specific computer parameters. They are set by
changing the pin location of jumper blocks. A jumper block is a small, plastic-
encased conductor (shorting plug) that slips over the pins. To change a jumper
setting (make sure that your computer is turned OFF), remove the jumper from its
current location with your fingers. Position the jumper over the two pins designated
for the desired setting. Press the jumper evenly onto the pins; being careful not to
bend the pins.
