Hardware Setup

The motherboard provides the following jumpers for you to set the computer’s

function. This section will explain how to change your motherboard’s function through

the use of jumpers.

Jumpers

Clear BIOS Password Jumper: JPWD1

The jumper is used to clear the BIOS password. To clear the password, open

the jumper and restart your computer.

Clear CMOS Jumper: JCMOS1

There is a CMOS RAM onboard that has a power supply from external battery

to keep the data of system configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can

automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system

configuration, set the JCMOS1 (Clear CMOS Jumper ) to clear data.

MSI Reminds You...

To clear CMOS you should:

1. switch off the system and short 2-3 pin of the JCMOS1;

2. switch on the system again and the message “CMOS checksum

error” should appear;

3. switch off the system and return to 1-2 pin (Keep Data) position;

4. switch on again for operation.

Please avoid clearing CMOS while the system is on; it will damage

the mainboard.
