7.2.2 Clearing Configuration The computer's configuration (CMOS) may occasionally be corrupted. If it does, it is necessary to clear the CMOS memory. The clear-CMOS header, located on the system board, is used for this function. The clear-CMOS header is labeled "E8 Clear CMOS" on the Pentium system board and labeled "Clear CMOS" on the Pentium II system board To clear and reset the configuration, perform the following procedure: 1. Prepare the computer for disassembly by following the procedures specified in Section 5.3 or 6.3 for desktop or minitower computers, respectively. 2. Remove the hood or access panel (see Section 5.6 or 6.6.1). 3. Move the jumper on clear-CMOS header from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3 for five seconds; then replace the jumper on pins 1 and 2.
