CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of 

pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads 

to prevent accidental clearing of CMOS. 

To clear CMOS, use a metal object such 

as a small screwdriver to touch both pads 

at the same time to short the connection.  

Always remove the AC power cord from 

the system before clearing CMOS.   

Note:

 For an ATX power supply, you must 

completely shut down the system, remove 

the AC power cord and then short JBT1 

to clear CMOS.  

Do not use the PW_ON 

connector to clear CMOS.
