22/23/24) PW_SW/ RST_SW/ CMOS_SW (Quick Buttons)
This motherboard has 3 quick buttons: power button, clearing CMOS button and reset button. The power
button and reset button allow users to quickly turn on/off or reset the computer in an open-case environ-
ment when they want to change hardware components or conduct hardware testing. Use the clearing
CMOS button to clear the CMOS values (e.g. date information and BIOS congurations) and reset the
CMOS values to factory defaults when needed.
• Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clear-
ing the CMOS values.
• After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized De-
faults) or manually congure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS
congurations).
