Jumpers and Connectors

This section provides specific information about the system jumpers. It also

provides some basic information on jumpers and switches and describes the

connectors on the various boards in the system.

System Board Jumpers

Figure 6-1 shows the location of the configuration jumpers on the system

board. Table 6-1 lists the jumper settings.

Disabling a Forgotten Password

The system's software security features include a system password and a setup

password, which are discussed in detail in "Using the System Setup Program

and UEFI Boot Manager." The password jumper enables these password

features or disables them and clears any password(s) currently in use.

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
