This is a picture of jumpers for a hard drive. They are the little plastic pieces.

Now i understand because i remember i had an old sound blaster 16 and i was rearanging the rubber thing on the the metal pins wher's a drawing tells you where to put the rubber things, i get it now

They can be called both a jumper, and a shunt.
