  • Page 264: Appendix B Jumper Settings

    Appendix B Jumper Settings Some devices in the system have pins that must be jumpered according to way the device is used in the computer (or the way the system is configured). For example, a hard disk drive or CD-ROM reader must be jumpered as a master or slave device. Jumpers on the fax/modem board are set differently according to whether the system is running the Windows 95 or Windows NT operating system.
