Clearing Configuration Memory The computer's configuration memory (CMOS) may occasionally be corrupted. When this occurs, it is usually due to software or hardware that is not functioning accurately or due to the addition or removal of expansion boards. If the computer's configuration memory becomes corrupted, clear the configuration memory: 1. If you have locked the Smart Cover Lock, use Computer Setup to unlock it. 2. Turn off the computer and any external devices. 3. Disconnect, the power cord from the power outlet, and disconnect any external devices. ! WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and allow the internal system components to cool before touching. CAUTION: When the unit is plugged in, the power supply always has 5 V applied to the system board even when the unit is turned off. Failure to disconnect the power cord can result in damage to the system. CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object.
