Jumpers Setup
Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system parameters to default
setup, please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15
seconds, use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not
clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish
updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the
clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default profile and MAC address
will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.
