completed, the setting is changed and stored in the CMOS memory. Having finished
the procedure, you may turn the power off and then you can use the keyboard to
power-on the PC system afterward.
In case that you forget the "Password" or "Hot Key", please refer to the
jumper setting of JP9 in Section 3-4 and use JP9 to clear the Power On
password setting. When Power On password is cleared by JP9, you can
use the power button on the front panel to power on the PC system
