Hardware Installation
Step 1. Jumper Setting
There are two jumpersyou can use to change the setting on themotherboard.
1. Clear Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM
The onboard button cell battery powers the CMOS RAM. It contains all the
BIOS setup information. Normally, it is necessary to keep the jumper
connected to pin1and pin2(Default) to retain the RTC data as shown below.
Note
Should you want to clear the RTC data:
(1) Soft off your computer
(2) Short pin2and pin3with jumper for few seconds
(3) Connect pin1and pin2with jumper again.
(4) Turn on your computer by pressing the power-on button from front-panel.
