  A typical jumper looks like a little plastic (may be any colour)
sleeve that can fit over two pins.  There's a piece of metal inside
that will make an electrical "short" across the two pins.  The sleeve
will be across both pins for "on", and dangling from one pin (or
missing altogether) for "off".
  A second popular configuration involves three pins; the jumper
"sleeve" may connect the left or right pin to the middle one.  No
jumper present at all may or may not be a valid configuration for one
of these.

  It doesn't *sound* to me like you've got these jumpers set
correctly.
