I would like to know what the jumper pins FDO, BB are used for, I know that PSWD means to clear and reset password.

FDO

 

The Flash Descriptor Override (FDO) jumper allows for the updating on the Intel Management Engine.

 

I have not found what the BB means YET.

Do some searching on Crisis Recovery Jumper here and elsewhere......

So the "BB" jumper pins are for Crisis Recovery???

Yep. 

 

Go use this forum's search function and find my post on that and the quote from a favorite HP engineer we miss quite a bit:

You'll see the words that BB stands for in this quote from Dan:  "If so, this is the E15 Boot Block recovery header.  There is a jumper on pins 2 and 3 (right hand side pins in this picture).  Moving the jumper from pins 2-3 (default) to 1-2 manufally forces the system into boot block recovery mode."

 

Don't mess with this unless you have done a lot of research.  There is more to it than that quote.
