Okay. Got the jumper, moved it from 1-2 to 2-3 as per instructions 
above, and the machine does not appear to boot? Initially I 
misunderstood the positioning of the jumpers in the above document, and 
just ran it without the jumper. when it didnt work, i checked the 
document to make sure i had gotten the right jumper and everything. but 
it doesnt even come up to a white screen on the monitor. like it doesnt 
pass a test of some kind. What am I still missing?
