J48 CMOS RAM Drain
J48 is a three-pin single-inline berg. In normal operation, pins 1-2 are shorted. Short pins 2-3 to drain
CMOS RAM.
With many motherboards, if you forget the system password, you must remove the battery for at least 20
minutes to erase the password. J48 provides a quicker method. By shorting J48 pins 2-3 together for several
seconds, you can quickly drain power from CMOS RAM. You must then place the shorting bridge on Pins
1-2 of J48 again. Then you must run WinBIOS Setup to reconfigure the computer, since no system
configuration data will now be stored in CMOS RAM.
