However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”.
2. The following table explains different types of the jumper settings. "Closed" means placing a
jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short them. The shorting can also be done by touch-
ing two pins by a screwdriver for a few seconds, but using jumper cap is recommended. It can
prevent hazardous ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) problem.
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
factorydefaultwhentheBIOSsettingsweremistakenlymodied.
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 2-3, put it onto pins 1-2 to short them. This will clear CMOS
data.
3. Return the setting to its original with pins 2-3 closed.
