8) CLR_CMOS (Clearing CMOS Jumper)
Use this jumper to clear the CMOS values (e.g. date information and BIOS congurations) and reset
the CMOS values to factory defaults. To clear the CMOS values, place a jumper cap on the two pins to
temporarily short the two pins or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few
seconds.
Open: Normal
Short: Clear CMOS Values
Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing the CMOS •
values.
After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove the jumper cap •
from the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard.
After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized Defaults) or manually •
congure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS congurations).
