Hardware Installation - 22 -

15) CLR_CMOS (Clearing CMOS Jumper)

Use this jumper to clear the CMOS values (e.g. date information and BIOS congurations) and reset

the CMOS values to factory defaults. To clear the CMOS values, place a jumper cap on the two pins to

temporarily short the two pins or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few

seconds.

Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clear- •

ing the CMOS values.

After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove the •

jumper cap from the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard.

After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized De- •

faults) or manually congure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS

congurations).

Open: Normal

Short: Clear CMOS Values
