(3) CMOS RAM Clear (3-pin): JBAT

A battery must be used to retain the motherboard configuration in CMOS RAM short 1-2
pins of JPAT to store the CMOS data.

To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below:
1.

Turn off the system and unplug the AC power

2.

Remove ATX power cable from ATX power connector

3.

Locate JBAT and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds

4.

Return JBAT to its normal setting by shorting pins 1-2

5.

Connect ATX power cable back to ATX power connector

Note: When should clear CMOS
1. Troubleshooting
2. Forget password
3. After over clocking system boot fail
