17) BAT (Battery)
The battery provides power to keep the values (such as BIOS congurations, date, and time inormation)
in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low
level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost.
• Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery.
• Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Damage to your devices may occur i the battery
is replaced with an incorrect model.
• Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by yourself
or uncertain about the battery model.
• When installing the battery, note the orientation of the positive side (+) and the negative side (-)
of the battery (the positive side should face up).
• Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations.
18) CLR_CMOS (Clear CMOS Jumper)
Use this jumper to clear the BIOS conguration and reset the CMOS values to actory deaults. To clear
the CMOS values, use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few seconds.
• Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing
the CMOS values.
• Ater system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load actory deaults (select Load Optimized Deaults) or
manually congure the BIOS settings (reer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," or BIOS congurations).
19) QFLASH_PLUS (Q-Flash Plus Button)
Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest
BIOS on a USB thumb drive and plug it into the dedicated port, and then you can now fash the BIOS
automatically by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button. The QFLED will fash when the BIOS matching
and fashing activities start and will stop fashing when the main BIOS fashing is complete.
