How to Set the Flash PROM Jumpers

The system uses flash PROMs to permit the reprogramming of specific code blocks
that are held in non-volatile system memory, and to permit remote reprogramming
of that code by an authorized system administrator over a local area network.
Two jumpers, J2703 and J2804, on the main logic board affect flash PROM operation.
The default shunt setting of J2703 is on pins 1 and 2. Placing a shunt on pins 2 and 3
enables reprogramming of the flash PROM.
When you reprogram NVRAM, it stores the old program in the high half of NVRAM
as a backup copy, in case something goes wrong in the new program. The jumper
switches enable you to select which half of NVRAM you want to boot from: the
low-half (or normal, default) or the high-half. This means that you can set the
jumpers to select either "high-half booting" or "low-half booting."
