1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC1)

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

to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC1 jumper

default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

There is no 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. Reboot the system and the BIOS will automatically reset the CPU

parameters to its previous setting.
