CMOS is powered by button cell on motherboard. To clear CMOS will result in permanent
elimination of system settings and will be restored to factory default settings.
Steps:
(1) Turn off computer and disconnect power supply
(2) Press Clear CMOS for 3-5 seconds with a slender needle and release
(3) Star computer and press Del entering into BIOS setting to reload optimum default value
(4) Save and exit

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Instruction
4.1 BIOS Introduction
BIOS is a basic input/output control program stored in Flash Memory. The program is a bridge
between the motherboard and the operating system and is responsible for managing the parameter
Settings between the motherboard and the expansion card. When the computer is activated, it is
controlled by a BIOS program, which first performs a self-test called POST and detects all
hardware devices and confirms synchronization hardware parameters. It does not transfer control of
the system to the operating system (OS) until all checks are completed.
Because BIOS is the only channel that hardware and software contact, how to properly set the BIOS
parameters will determine whether your computer is running stable and whether it’s in the best state,
so correct BIOS setting is the key factor of system stability, and to ensure the system performance
to achieve the best state.
CMOS Setup will store the set data in the built-in CMOS SRAM on the main board. When power is
turned off, the lithium battery on the motherboard continues to power the CMOS SRAM. The BIOS
Settings utility allows you to configure:
1) Hard drives and peripherals
2) Video display type and options
3) Password protection
4) Power management characteristics
Since BIOS version of the motherboard is constantly being updated, the BIOS
description in this manual is for reference only. We do not guarantee that the
content of this manual is consistent with the information you have obtained.
4.1.1 CMOS Setup
When the computer is started, BIOS enters the boot self-check (Post) program, which is a series of
diagnostic programs fixed in the BIOS. When the self-check program is completed and no error,
you can press DEL or ESC to enter the BIOS interface. If this message disappears before you could
respond, you can turn it off and restart your computer, or you can restart your computer by
simultaneously pressing <Ctrl> +< Alt>+<Delete>.
