Jumpers

1.

Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can

clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing

the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in

CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3

for about 5-10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter

data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default

position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

• If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move the jumper again

to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery.

• You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking. For

system failure due to overclocking, use the CPU Parameter Recall (C.P.R.) feature. Shut

down and reboot the system, then the BIOS automatically resets parameter settings to

default values.

USB device wake-up (3-pin USBPW5-10)
Set these jumpers to +5V to wake up the computer from S1 sleep mode (CPU stopped,

DRAM refreshed, system running in low power mode) using the connected USB

devices. Set to +5VSB to wake up from S3 and S4 sleep modes (no power to CPU,

DRAM in slow refresh, power supply in reduced power mode). The USBPW5-10

jumper is for the internal USB connectors that you can connect to additional USB ports.
