2.6 Jumper 1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC_EN) This jumper allows you to enable the Clear CMOS switch. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard clr CMOS switch helps you easily to clear the system setup information such as system passwords. See page 2-35 for details. To erase the RTC RAM: 1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord. 2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3 to enable the CLRTC function. 3. Press down the clr CMOS button and again to release it. 4. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. 5. Hold down the key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data. The clr CMOS button will not function until the jumper cap on CLRTC_EN is moved to the ENABLE position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure! ® COMMANDO COMMANDO Clear RTC RAM CLRTC_EN 2 1 Normal (Default) 3 2 Clear RTC • Make sure to re-enter your previous BIOS settings after you clear the CMOS. • You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the BIOS can automatically reset parameter settings to default values. • To prevent accidental pressing of the Clear CMOS switch, the CLRTC_EN jumper default setting disables the switch.

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC_EN)
This jumper allows you to enable the Clear CMOS switch. You can clear the
CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the
CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard clr CMOS switch helps you easily to
clear the system setup information such as system passwords. See page
2-35 for details.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1.
Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2.
Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3 to enable the
CLRTC function.
3.
Press down the
clr CMOS
button and again to release it.
4.
Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
5.
Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup
to re-enter data.
The
clr CMOS
button will not function until the jumper cap on CLRTC_EN is
moved to the ENABLE position. Removing the cap will cause system boot
failure!
•
Make sure to re-enter your previous BIOS settings after you clear the
CMOS.
•
You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to
overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU
Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the BIOS
can automatically reset parameter settings to default values.
•
To prevent accidental pressing of the Clear CMOS switch, the CLRTC_EN
jumper default setting disables the switch.
