Clear CMOS Data Jumper (JP8)

To clear the contents of the CMOS, please follow the
steps below.
1. Disconnect the system power supply from the power

source.

2. Set the jumper cap at location 2~3 for 5 seconds, then

set it back to the default position.

3. Connect the system's power and then start the system.
4. Enter BIOS's CMOS Setup Utility and choose Load

Setup Defaults.  Type Y and press enter.

5. Set the system configuration in the  Standard CMOS

Setup menu.

PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard Ports

If a PS/2 mouse is used, BIOS will automatically detect
and assign IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse.

Poly-fuse Over Current Protection

The poly-fuse protects the system from dangerous voltages the system might be exposed
to via the keyboard or USB connectors. In case of such exposure, the poly-fuse will
immediately be disconnected from the circuit, just like a normal fuse. After being
disconnected for a certain period of time, the poly-fuse will return to its normal state,
after which the keyboard or USB can function properly again. Unlike conventional
fuses, the poly-fuse does not have to be replaced, relieving the user wasted time and
inconvenience.
