So, if I have pins at this location I can infer it's one of the early mb's? (This is the J38, correct?). Is there a manufacture date stamped anywhere? Charles Hi Charles, The J38 jumper came up regularly in the early days of the list. This is the server jumper and AFAIK does NOT disable the motherboard cache.

I seem to recall that it was supposed to do the first two things -- cause an auto-restart and lock out the keyboard -- but the Timbuktu killing may be an unexpected consequence. We never talked about or publically documented the Server jumper precisely because it could cause some unexpected problems and a rash of support issues. In one sense, it was a great idea -- set up your system as a server, close the Server jumper, swing the security clip into position, put the cover back on, slap a lock on the security clip, and just let it serve.... -Kennedy << -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
