3.1. Clear CMOS Jumper
The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard battery power supply. To
reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pins 2 and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pins
1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard.

Note:
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap from the CLEAR_CMOS jumper default position.
Removing the cap will cause system boot failure. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will
damage the mainboard.
