Gateway ALR 9200 Manual De Usuario

The short general procedure for changing a configuration setting is the 
same for most of the jumper functions, so it is described here.

1.

Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of “Static 
Electricity Precautions” on page 2.

2.

Turn off all connected peripherals, turn off system power, and 
disconnect all AC power cords.

3.

Remove the access cover.

4.

Remove the foam insert from the electronics bay.

5.

Locate the configuration jumpers at the edge of the system board 
toward the front of the system (see Figure 29 on page 72).

6.

Move the jumper to the pins specified for the desired setting.

7.

Reinstall the foam insert and the access cover using the original 
screws, connect the power cords, and turn on the system for the 
change to take effect.

8.

You may need to repeat these steps to move the jumper back to its 
original setting, depending on the jumper function.

jumper when the BIOS code has been corrupted 
by a failed flash update.

To Change a Jumper Setting

You do not need to remove 
the system board from the 
chassis, and you probably 
do not need to remove any 
expansion cards.
