    2.1 Functions of Jumpers You can use jumpers to set configuration options. The table below defines function of each jumper: Jumper Function Jumper Function J1,J2 Power Connector Speaker J4,J5 Fan Connector GPIO J5 on Daughter ATX Power On-board RTC Board AC’97 SMBUS IDE Active LED...

  • Page 14: Setting Jumpers

    2.2 Setting Jumpers A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumpr is OPEN.
