need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup Utility are incor-
rect and prevent your mainboard from operating. To clear the CMOS memory,
disconnect all the power cables from the mainboard and then move the
jumper cap into the CLEAR setting for a few seconds.
JP3 – Enables you to prevent the BIOS from being updated (flashed). Open
the jumper if you are going to update your BIOS. After updating the BIOS,
short the jumper to protect the BIOS from being flashed.
