Beige G3 jumper settings
Posted by: EvieSigma on 2024-10-30 15:02:08
I acquired a G3 AIO this past weekend that was sadly a battery bomb victim. I installed a spare G3 desktop board but it doesn't boot at all. Someone I was on Discord mentioned something about jumpers to set the board as a tower, desktop, or AIO and I'm just wondering...is that true? If it is, what are the jumper settings?

A little off topic, but has anyone before noticed that some of the photos in there show a personality card with USB ports?

In response to your question, though. Check J28 on the original and replacement boards.

Thanks, so the jumper is near the PCI slots! I was looking in the wrong place!

@finkmac its been some time so I forgot where I had actually seen it but someone on a different forum somewhere had a silly signature that said "want to hide something? *surprised smiley* put it in plain sight! *cowboy yeehawing smiley*" (the two faces only made it a bit more funny to look at indeed)
