Important
Avoid adjusting jumpers when the system is on; it will damage the motherboard.
Clear CMOS Jumper: JCMOS1
There is a CMOS RAM onboard that has a power supply from an external battery
to keep the data of system conguration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can
automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system
conguration, set the jumper to clear data.

Normal Clear CMOS
Important
You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is o. Then return to
1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage
the motherboard.
