1.) Set System Jumpers 

 

Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Some 
jumpers on the board have three metal pins with each pin representing a 
different function. A 1 is written besides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. To 
set a jumper, a black cap containing metal contacts is placed over the 
jumper pin(s) according to the required configuration. A jumper is said to be 

shorted 

when the black cap has been placed on one or two of its pins. 

 

 

 

Clear CMOS 

The CMOS RAM is powered by the onboard button cell battery.   
To clear the RTC data:   

(1) 

Turn off your computer;   

(2) 

Open the system case and disconnect the ATX power cable;   

(3)    Place the jumper cap onto the pinpair 2-3 for at least 6 seconds   
 

to enable CMOS clearance;   

(4)    Place the jumper cap onto the pinpair 1-2 to disable the effect of   
 CMOS 

clearance; 

 

(5)    Connect the ATX power cable and close the system case;   
(6)    Turn on your computer until CMOS checksum error appears;   
(7)    Hold down the Delete key as it boots;   
(8)    Enter the BIOS Setup to re-enter user preferences.

improperly may adversely affect system performance.
