This jumper is set on pins 1 and 2 at the factory, in order for the
computer to function normally, so please do not change this setting.

computer crashes due to improper usage. For instance:
l You have forgotten the password you set.
l You have changed inappropriately the settings in the BIOS
menu.
l You want to change the version of flash BIOS.
All these errors are very serious, you must avoid them. But if you
have made one of these errors, this jumper can save your life. First
turn off the power supply and open the computer case, than place the
jumper on pins 2 and 3 in order to save your computer. But if you use

you still have to go back to the BIOS Setup menu, and reset one by one all
the specifications: CPU, date, hour, FDD and HDD parameters. etc., before
your computer will get back into normal operation.
