JP1: Clear CMOS RAM Data
This 3-pin Jumper allows the user to disconnect the
built-in 3V battery power to clear the information stored
in the CMOS RAM.
To clear the CMOS data:
(1) Turn off the system power.
(2) Remove Jumper cap from pin1&2.
(3) Short the pin2 and pin3 for three seconds.
(4) Put Jumper cap back to pin1 & 2.
(5) Turn on your computer.
(6) Hold Down <Delete> during boot up and enter BIOS
setup to enter your preferences.
