Clear CMOS Jumper: JCMOS1

There is a CMOS RAM onboard that has a power supply from an external battery

to keep the data of system conguration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can

automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system

conguration, set the jumper to clear data.

Normal Clear CMOS

Important

You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is o. Then return to

1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage
the motherboard.

AT/ATX Select Jumper: JATX1

This jumper allows users to select between AT and ATX power.
