CLEAR CMOS JUMPER
MANAGEMENT ENGINE FUNCTION SELECTOR
To erase the CMOS RTC RAM user settings (and BIOS passwords.)
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Move the cap to Clear for 5 to 10 secs, then move cap back to Default.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. During the boot process, enter BIOS setup to re-enter user settings.
Notes for flashing BIOS:
Once the ME has been programmed it will be running at all times.
The ME is capable of writing to the flash device at any time, even
when the management mode is set to none and it may appear that
no writing would occur.
It is important to note that programming the flash device while the
ME is running may cause the flash device to become corrupted.
The ME should be disabled before programming the full flash
device.
Please follow one of following two methods to disable the ME function before flashing the BIOS:
Method 1: Disable ME through the jumper
1. Turn power OFF and remove AC power plug for at least 5 secs.
2. Move ME jumper cap to Disable.
3. Reconnect the system AC power plug and turn the system ON.
Method 2: Disable ME through memory configuration
Remove both memory modules from Channel A - DIMM0 and
Channel B - DIMM0 as outlined above.
