1.  Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

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.   Remove the onboard battery.
3.  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.

4.   Replace the battery.
5.  Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6.  Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup 

to re-enter data.
