Chapter 3: Motherboard Information

This motherboard does not have jumpers nor switches to configure.
However, there are two solder points onboard that allow you to clear
the RTC RAM when necessary.

Clear RTC RAM. This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time

of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS
RTC RAM data. The RAM data in CMOS, that include system

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Short the jumper.
4. Re-install the battery.
5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
