Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup

parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data.

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 to enable the CLRTC

function.

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.

• Make sure to re-enter your previous BIOS settings after you clear the

CMOS.

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

overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU

Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the BIOS

can automatically reset parameter settings to default values.
