2.7 Jumpers
1. Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC1)
ThisjumperallowsyoutocleartheCMOSmemorysystemsetupparametersby
erasingtheCMOSRealTimeClock(RTC)RAMdata.Theonboardbuttoncellbattery
powerstheRAMdatainCMOS,whichincludesystemsetupinformationsuchas
system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. TurnOFFthecomputerandunplugthepowercord.
2. Movethejumpercapfrompins1–2(default)topins2–3.Keepthecaponpins
2–3forabout5–10seconds,thenmovethecapbacktopins1–2.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Holddownthe<Del>keyduringthebootprocessandenterBIOSsetupto
reenter data.
• Ifthestepsabovedonothelp,removetheonboardbatteryandshortthetwopins
againtocleartheCMOSRTCRAMdata.AfterclearingtheCMOS,reinstallthe
battery.
• Duetochipsetbehavior,ACpoweroffisrequiredtoenableC.P.R.function.Youmust
turn off and on the power supply or unplug and plug the power cord before rebooting
the system.
ExceptwhenclearingtheRTCRAM,neverremovethecaponCLRTCjumperdefault
position.Removingthecapwillcausesystembootfailure!
