2.6 Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC_SW)

This jumper allows you to enable the clr CMOS switch on the back I/O. You

can clear the CMOS memory and system setup parameters by erasing the

CMOS RTC RAM data. The clr CMOS switch on the back I/O helps you

easily clear the system setup information such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Press down the clr CMOS switch on the back I/O.

2. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup

to re-enter data.

*G3: Power off without +5VSB power (AC power loss); S5: Power off with +5VSB power

**The system shuts dowm immediately.

• The clr CMOS switch will not function if the CLRTC_SW jumper is moved

to the Disable position, but the shutdwon function in S0 mode (DOS mode)

still works.

• 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 CPU

overclocking. With the C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) feature, shut down

and reboot the system so the BIOS can automatically reset CPU parameter

settings to default values. If the system hangs due to overclocking of

memory timing or chipset voltage and the power button fails to function,

pressing down the clr CMOS switch will shut down the system and clear

CMOS simultaneously.
