Clear CMOS 

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads 

to prevent the 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 close pins 1 and 2 to clear 

CMOS.
