by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The clr CMOS switch on the back
I/O helps you easily to clear the system setup information such as system
passwords.

The clr CMOS switch will not function if the CLRTC_SW switch is moved
to the Disable position, but the shutdwon function in S0 mode (DOS mode)
still works.
Make sure to re-enter your previous BIOS settings after you clear the
CMOS.
You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to CPU
overclocking. With the C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) feature, shut down
and reboot the system so the BIOS can automatically reset CPU parameter
settings to default values. If the system hangs due to overclocking of
memory timing or chipset voltage and the power button fails to function,
pressing down the clr CMOS switch will shut down the system and clear
CMOS simultaneously.
