2.2 Unpacking Precautions
Some components on NOVA-3710/3710SV are very sensitive to
electrical static discharges and may cause damage to the board. To
prevent such unintended damage, be sure to follow these precautions:
9Discharge yourself from electrical static prior to handling the NOVA-
3710/3710SV. You can do it by using a grounded wrist strap at all
time or by frequently touching any conducting materials that is
connected to the ground.
9Handle your NOVA-3710/3710SV by its edges. Try not to have any
physical contact with the components on the NOVA-3710/3710SV.
9Do not plug any connector or jumper while the power is on.
9Do not put your NOVA-3710/3710SV unprotected on a flat surface
because it has components on both sides.

2.3 Clear CMOS Setup
If you forget the CMOS password, you can clear or reset it by
closing the JP11. After JP11(1-2) is closed, turn on the power
for about 3 seconds then turn it off and open the JP11(1-2).
Now, the password has been cleared from your CMOS.
