Jumpers on a motherboard are small connectors used to configure settings and options on the board. They typically consist of two or three pins and can be connected with a small plastic cap to enable or disable specific functions, such as clearing the BIOS or setting the motherboard's operating mode. Common types of jumpers include system configuration jumpers, reset jumpers, and BIOS configuration jumpers. Their settings can significantly impact system behavior and functionality.
