9. Clear RTC RAM (CLRCMOS1)
These solder points allow 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 RAM
data in CMOS, that include system setup information such as system
passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Move the jumper cap from [1-2] to [2-3].
3. After 5 seconds, replace the jumper back to the Normal, [1-2],
position.
4. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
5. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS
setup to re-enter data.
