The socket, allows for a 'plug-in' volatge regulator module, that allows
the use of 'new' processors, running at other voltages such as 2.85v 3v etc.,
basically anything the chip manufacturers may come up with. As standard,
the boards with this type of socket, can be jumpered to deliver the normal
VR/VRE voltages without any such module, by inserting the jumpers you
describe. Hence VRE/VRM (Voltage Regulator Module).

Sorry can't help on this bit.
