Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over
two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that can be gripped with fin-gertips or
with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If the jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when us-
ing needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the
pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can dam-age the contacts inside the jumper,
causing intermittent problems with the function con-trolled by that jumper. Take care to grip with,
but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool used to remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may
bend or break.
