However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply la�eled as “1”.

2. The following table explains different types of the jumper settings. "Closed" means placing a

jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short them. The shorting can also �e done �y touch-
ing two pins �y a screwdriver for a few seconds, �ut using jumper cap is recommended. It can

Clear CMoS Jumper: ClR_CMoS

The mother�oard uses CMOS RAM to store the �asic hardware information (such as BIOS data,
date, time information, hardware password...etc.). Clear CMOS data is the fast way to go �ack to
factory default when the BIOS settings were mistakenly modified.

The steps to clear CMOS data are :

1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
2. Remove jumper cap from pins 2-3, put it onto pins 1-2 to short them. This will clear CMOS

data.

3. Return the setting to its original with pins 2-3 closed.
4. Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on.
5. Go to BIOS Setup to configure new system as described in next chapter.
