1.8.1.1 CMOS and ME clear (JCMOS1) The ASMB-785 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set JCMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed.
The ASMB-785 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU. This feature means the ASMB-785 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.
1.8.1.4 USB power switch (JUSB1/JUSB2) The ASMB-785 contains a jumper that can support on board USB ports power source from +5Vsb or +5V. The JUSB1 jumper controls the USB2.0 and 3.0 ports of rear window. The JUSB2 jumper controls the USB2.0 and 3.0 ports of onboard header and connectors.
1.8.1.6 ATX/AT mode selector (PSON1) The ASMB-785 contains a jumper that can support ATX or AT mode. Normally this jumper should be set with pin 2-3 closed. If you want to change to AT mode, set PSON to 1-2 closed.
