CMOS Clearing

Hardware Setup

SY-5SSM & SY-5SSM/5

Step 15. CMOS Clearing (JP5)

After you have turned off your computer, clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pins 2-3 on jumper JP5, for a few seconds. Then restore JP5 to the initial 1-2 jumper setting in order to recover and retain the default settings.

Note: You must unplug the ATX power cable from the ATX power connector when performing the CMOS Clear operation.

Step 16. Set the Onboard Sound Options (JP9)

The onboard audio features of your Motherboard are controlled by

jumpers JP9

Choose the available sound options among the following table:
