Jumpers - Asus A8AE-LE Amberine User Manual

5. Jumpers

1. Clear RTC (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 RAM data in CMOS, that include system
setup information, 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 pins 2-3 (Default) to pins 1-2 (Clear CMOS).
Keep the cap on pins 1-2 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back
to pins 2-3.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <F1> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to
re-enter data.
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the jumper caps on default
position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!
