2.8 Jumpers
1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC1)
ThisjumperallowsyoutocleartheRealTimeClock(RTC)RAMinCMOS.You
cancleartheCMOSmemoryofdate,time,andsystemsetupparametersbyerasing
theCMOSRTCRAMdata.TheonboardbuttoncellbatterypowerstheRAMdatain

Ifthestepsabovedonothelp,removetheonboardbatteryandmovethejumperagainto
