EVGA Z590 DARK (122-RL-E599)

Onboard Buttons

These onboard buttons include RESET, POWER and Clear CMOS. These
functions allow you to easily turn on/off the system, reset the system or clear
the CMOS.
Clear CMOS Button
The motherboard uses CMOS RAM to
store set parameters. Clear the CMOS
by pressing the button shown on the
right. This button has two main uses:
The first is to clear BIOS and power on before
updating the BIOS, and the second is to troubleshoot instances when the
motherboard fails to POST (e.g. after upgrading RAM or CPU, installing new
hardware, a failed overclock, etc.) This button provides a much faster means of
resetting CMOS than removing the battery and discharging power to the board.
RESET and POWER Button
These onboard buttons allow you to easily turn on/off the system. These
buttons allow for easy debugging and testing of the system during
troubleshooting situations.
The POWER button has an integrated LED,
indicating the system's status. When the system is
powered on, the LED remains a solid red.
The RESET button has an integrated LED,
indicating the activity status of the hard disk
drives and will flicker accordingly.
