It sounds like you're describing a pin jumper.

Check the picture here: http://usbnow.co.uk/articles/2009/07/jumper-settings-when-using-hard-drive-enclosures/

They're usually used on hard drives but sometimes they are used on MB. In this case it seems like the jumper is used to clear the cmos. It should be on pins 1-3 of the cmos clearing jumpers.

Here's a good spot for the info. Scroll down to "Jumper Settings"
