Procedures of CMOS clear:
5.4.1.1 Turn off the system and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
5.4.1.2 To clear the CMOS settings, use the jumper cap to close pins1 and 2 for about 3
seconds then reinstall the jumper clip back to pins open.
5.4.1.3 Power on the system again.
5.4.1.4 When entering the POST screen, press the <F1> or <DEL> key to enter CMOS
Setup Utility to load optimal defaults.
5.4.1.5 After the above operations, save changes and exit BIOS Setup.

Pin1-3: HDD LED, They are used to connect hard disk activity LED. The LED blinks
when the hard disk is reading or writing data.
Pin2-4: POWER LED, They are used to connect power LED. When the system is
powered on or under S0/S1 state, the LED is normally on; when the system
is under S4/S5 state, the LED is off.
Pin5-6: POWER on/off Button, They are used to connect power switch button. The
two pins are disconnected under normal condition. You may short them
temporarily to realize system startup & shutdown or awaken the system from
sleep state.
Pin7-8: RESET Button, They are used to connect reset button. The two pins are dis-
connected under normal condition. You may short them temporarily to realize
system reset.
Pin9-10: BUZZER, They are used to connect an external buzzer.
Note:
When connecting LEDs and buzzer, pay special attention to the signal pola-
rity. Make sure that the connector pins have a one-to-one correspondence
with chassis wiring, or it may cause boot up failure.
5. JP1: (2.0mm Pitch 1x3 Pin Header) COM5 setting jumper, pin 1~3 are used to select
signal out of pin 10 of COM5 port.
