Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional set- tings. Jumpers create shorts be- tween two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS (which will also clear any passwords). In- stead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents of CMOS.

To clear CMOS:

1)First unplug the power cord(s).

2)With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver.

3)Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).

4)Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.
