This motherboard has 3 quick buttons: power button, reset button and clear CMOS button. The power button
and reset button allow users to quickly turn on/off or reset the computer in an open-case environment when
they want to change hardware components or conduct hardware testing. Use this button to clear the BIOS
configuration and reset the CMOS values to factory defaults when needed.
• Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing
the CMOS values.
• NOTE: Do not use the clear CMOS button when the system is on, or the system may shutdown
and data loss or damage may occur.
• After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized Defaults) or
manually configure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS configurations).
