Mike, I'm 90% certain that the setting is in the "Normal" position, as
it came from the factory that way.

The computer runs in the "Clear CMOS" position? That seems
counter-intuitive, doesn't it LOL!

The manual states that "To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below:

1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power
2. Remove the ATX power cable from the ATX power connector
3. Locate JBAT and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds
4. Return JBAT to its normal setting by shorting pins 1-2
5. Connect the ATX power cable back to the ATX power connector

FYI
1-2 closed = normal
2-3 closed = Clear CMOS


No, I think you misunderstood what I was saying. If the jumper is in the
wrong position, it can give you a CMOS error, and stop the boot process.
Yes, I would hope that the jumper would come from the factory in the normal
position. But it would be a good idea to check it anyway. :) -Dave
