2.6 Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (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 RAM

data in CMOS, that include system setup information such as system

passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery.
To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery.

3. Move the jumper 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.

4. Replace the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the key during the boot process and enter BIOS

setup menu.

7. Load the BIOS default settings or key-in data.

You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hands 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 the parameter settings to the default

values.
