Where can I find or buy more jumpers?

Question:

Where can I find or buy more jumpers?

Answer:

Use extra jumper

Many hardware manufacturers will include an extra jumper with new hardware, for example a hard disk drive may have a jumper placed with only one pin. If you're able to locate one of these jumpers, it can be used to jump two pins.

Use other jumpers

If you have old hardware that is no longer being used, using the jumpers from that hardware is perfectly acceptable.

Buy new jumpers

If you're unable to locate other jumpers that can be used, many large computer retail stores and online sites will also sell packages of jumpers. A listing of companies online and offline who sell computer hardware can be found on document CH000983.
