2.7 Jumpers Setup
The illustration shows how jumpers are
setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap
is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose
pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap
is placed on these 2 pins.
Jumper Setting Description
Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLRCMOS1)
(see p.2, No. 9)
Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the
system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug
the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a
jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However,
please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need
to clear the CMOS when you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot
up the system rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default prole, 1394
GUID and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

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 bendet sich eine
Jumper-Kappe auf diesen beiden Pins.

(CLRCMOS1, 3-Pin jumper)
(siehe S.2, No. 9)
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, benutzerdeniertes Prol, 1394 GUID und MAC-Adresse
nur gelöscht werden, wenn die CMOS-Batterie entfernt wird.
