to the following steps to clear the CMOS
1.
Unplug the AC power cable from the PC system.
2.
Open the cabinet of the PC system.
3.
Put the mini jumper on pin 2-3 of JP11 around 3 to 5 seconds and then
return it to the original position ( pin 1-2 ).
4.
Close the cabinet and Re-connect the AC power cable.
5.
Power on the PC system and then run BIOS setup program to

IMPORTANT:
After you have used JP11 and clear the setting which is saved in the CMOS

optimized parameters loaded into the BIOS setup program. Such
parameters were fine tuned and they will let you have the optimized
performance and stability.
