A jumper consists of pair conductive pins used to close in or bypass an
electronic circuit to set up or configure particular feature using a jumper cap.
The jumper cap is a small metal clip covered by plastic. It performs like a
connecting bridge to short (connect) the pair of pins. The usual colors of the
jumper cap are black/red/blue/white/yellow.

In addition, there are jumpers that have three or more pins, and some pins are
arranged in series. In case of a jumper with three pins, place the jumper cap on
pin 1 and pin 2 or pin 2 and 3 to Short
Some jumper size is small or mounted on the crowded location on the board
that makes it difficult to access. Therefore, using a long-nose pliers in installing

The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard
battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pins 2
and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pins 1 and 2 afterwards.
Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard. The
default setting is on pins 1 and 2.
