Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS
The motherboard uses CMOS RAM to store the basic hardware information
(such as BIOS data, date, time information, hardware password...etc.). Clear
CMOS data is the fast way to go back to factory default when the BIOS
settings were mistakenly modied.
The steps to clear CMOS data are :
1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
2. Remove jumper cap from pins 2 and 3, put it onto pins 1 and 2 to short
them. This will clear CMOS data.
3. Return the setting to its original with pins 2 and 3 closed.
4. Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on.
5. Go to BIOS Setup to congure new system as described in next chapter.
