1.3 Einstellung der Jumper

Die Abbildung verdeutlicht, wie Jumper gesetzt werden. Werden Pins durch Jumperkappen verdeckt, ist der Jumper “Gebrückt”. Werden keine Pins durch Jumperkappen verdeckt, ist der Jumper “Offen”. Die Abbildung zeigt einen 3-Pin Jumper dessen Pin1 und Pin2 “Gebrückt” sind, bzw. es bendet sich eine Jumper-Kappe auf diesen beiden Pins.

Jumper Einstellun Beschreibung

CMOS löschen

(CLRCMOS1, 3-Pin jumper) (siehe S.2, No. 23)

Hinweis:

CLRCMOS1 ermöglicht Ihnen die Löschung der Daten im CMOS. Zum Löschen und Zurücksetzen der Systemparameter auf die Standardeinrichtung schalten Sie den Computer bitte aus und trennen das Netzkabel von der Stromversorgung. Warten Sie 15 Sekunden, schließen Sie dann Pin2 und Pin3 am CLRCMOS1 über einen Jumper fünf Sekunden lang kurz. Sie sollten das CMOS allerdings nicht direkt nach der BIOS-Aktualisierung löschen. Wenn Sie das CMOS nach Abschluss der BIOS-Aktualisierung löschen müssen, fahren Sie zuerst das System hoch. Fahren Sie es dann vor der CMOS-Löschung herunter. Bitte beachten Sie, dass Kennwort, Datum, Uhrzeit, benutzerdeniertes Prol, 1394 GUID und MAC-Adresse

nur gelöscht werden, wenn die CMOS-Batterie entfernt wird.

DefaultEinstellung

CMOS löschen

Durch Löschen des CMOS kann erkannt werden, wenn das Gehäuseoffen ist. Bitte stellen Sie zum Löschen der Aufzeichnung des vorherigenGehäuseindringungsstatus die BIOS-Option “Status leeren” ein.
