Clear CMOS jumper
JP15 lets you clear all current values in complimentary metal-oxide
semiconductor (CMOS) memory. CMOS memory stores all of the BIOS
Setup information and settings. Clearing the CMOS memory restores all
setup values to the original system defaults.

To Clear CMOS Memory
Important!
If the error message
“update table not found for
CPUxx, Stepping xxxx”
displays at boot up, run the
MULOADER utility located
on the disk included with
your processor kit. This
message may occur under
the following conditions:
When a new processor has
been added that does not
include the stepping
information in the table.
When the BIOS is flashed,
it may remove the stepping
information form the table
which will cause the error
message to appear.
