Figure 5-35 CMOS RTC clear wires

NOTE Many techs use older language to describe the reset CMOS RTC

RAM, simply CMOS clear, describing both the process and the motherboard

option.

Turn off and unplug the computer, then open the case to access the

motherboard. Find the CMOS RTC clear wires. Move the shunt (the little

plastic and metal jumper thing) from wires 1 and 2 to wires 2 and 3 (see

Figure 5-36). Wait for 10 seconds and then move the shunt back to the

default position. Plug in and boot the system.
