Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC)

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 CMOS, which include system setup information such as system

passwords.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default

position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

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

to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery.

• You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking. For

system failure due to overclocking, use the CPU Parameter Recall (C.P.R.) feature.

Shut down and reboot the system, then the BIOS automatically resets parameter

settings to default values.

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

key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter

data.
