Configuring Your Computer
This section shows how to change the system configuration by
setting system board switches, running System Setup, setting
passwords, and updating the BIOS.
Setting Jumpers
The system board contains jumpers that you can use to change
the system configuration. You may need to change these jumper
settings to prevent conflicts with an add-in board you just
installed or to enable or disable passwords. See the illustration
in the back of this manual for the location of the jumpers.
Altering jumper settings while the computer is on can
permanently damage the computer and its components.
To avoid accidental discharge of static electricity as you
handle components or jumpers, you can use a grounding
wrist strap. Static electricity can damage computer
components.
You can use one of the following methods to change a jumper
setting:
•
To remove a jumper block, pull it off the pins. (A jumper
block is a plastic piece that fits over two jumper pins.
When you remove a jumper block, save it for future use.)
•
To install a jumper block, slide it onto a pair of pins.
•
To move a jumper block from one position to another
(such as moving from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3), pull it
off the current pair of pins and then slide it onto the other
pair of pins.
Jumper Settings
Table 1 shows the setting options for the system board jumpers
(see the illustration at the back of this manual).
