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.
The following sections provide jumper settings for PowerMate Professional 9000 Series
computers. Settings are included for the following components:
system board
hard disk drive
CD-ROM reader
fax/modem board
Zip drive
Jaz drive
tape backup unit.
SYSTEM BOARD JUMPER SETTINGS
PowerMate Professional 9000 Series system board jumper settings are changed under the
following circumstances:
You jumpered the system board for Configure mode when the system’s processor
runs at a speed other than 233-MHz. Because Configure mode automatically
resets the system processor speed to 233-MHz, you must set the system to match
the speed of the installed processor (266-MHz, 300-MHz, or 333-MHz) using the
the Maintenance menu of the BIOS Setup utility.
The password has been lost and you cannot boot the system. You need to set a
jumper to “clear” the current password using the Maintenance menu of the BIOS
Setup utility.
The BIOS has become corrupted and you must perform a BIOS Recovery. This
entire procedure is performed in conjunction with a BIOS Recovery diskette. This
procedure is seldom required; if it is, see the instructions that are provided with
the diskette.
