Jumper is a block which shorts a set of pins to indicated a setting.
Jumpers are mostly used in IDE hard drive where you can either set it to
Cable Select, Master, or Slave
SATA HDD rarely uses jumpers and most of them don't.
There are some that does, but its only for other uses which the end-user (like you) have nothing to worry about.
e.g. Certain Seagate SATA HDD includes a jumper which caps a 3.0Gb/s HDD down to 1.5Gb/s. By factory shipment, they're running at 1.5Gb/s so you will need to remove it to run at full speed.
