Cmos clear my foxconn motherboard g31ax came with the cmos jumper on 1and 2. It needs to be on 2 and 3 for normal opearting. the problem is I'm not sure if it did com on 1 and 2 how do I know what pin is what

Remove the jumper plug from the CMOS jumper (CLEAR CMOS) pins 2 and 3. Place the jumper plug on the CMOS jumper (CLEAR CMOS) pins 1 and 2 and wait approximately five seconds. Remove the jumper plug and replace it on the CMOS jumper (CLEAR CMOS) pins 2 and 3

Hi, here you can download drivers and a manual:

There is a connector on the mainboard that look like this:


Or like this:

Hello
Resetting? Have a look at your memory stick locations.There should be 4 slots,each a color.

Say blue orange and blue orange.If your using 2 sticks they both need to be in either both blue or orange slots.
If your using 3 sticks then its Blue orange and orange.Also the jumper not be in the clear position.
It needs to be in the 2and 3 position.The 1 and 2 position is to clear the c mos.2 and 3 are for normal operation.

hope this helps

Try clearing the CMOS --- the down side is your lose all your setting --- the up side is you should be
able to access your BIOS

Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS1 ( Located near CMOS battery )
The motherboard uses CMOS RAM to store the basic hardware information (such as BIOS data,
date, time information, hardware password...etc.). Clear CMOS data is the fast way to go back to
factory default when the BIOS settings were mistakenly modified.
The steps to clear CMOS data are :
1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
2. Remove jumper cap from pins 2-3, put it onto pins 1-2 to short them.
This will clear CMOS data.
3. Return the setting to its original with pins 2-3 closed.
4. Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on.
5. Go to BIOS Setup to configure new system as described in next chapter.

• Disconnect the power cable before adjusting the jumper settings.

• Do not clear the CMOS while the system is turned on.

label CLR CMOS 3 pin type 1-2 clear 2-3 normal

Intel mother board is very populer brand.I like it very much.If itself, It has three leg jumper near the cmos battery.1-2 short defaultor normal.2-3 short clear cmos.you like 2-3 short then fix your bios password.you must be power switch on.Un plug power cable.again jumper short 1-2 normal position. your bios clear.

it has a coms jumper in side coms battery 1-2 jumper normal position 2-3 clear coms choice 2-3 then *********** board reset

Dear seth79

As with any CMOS it ussually takes 2 seconds :) but to be completely sure take 30 seconds at each step.

1. Lifting off the jumper - 30 seconds
2. Bridging the pins indicating by the M/B manual - Another 30 seconds
3. Connecting the jumper to its original location.

Please remember to switch of the computer completely off before doing this. (Even the PSU if possible)
Also ground yourself in order to avoid ESD discharge damage on the components near your fingers.

JP1 PIN 1-2 = On board audio disable
JP1 PIN 2-3 = On board audio enable

JP2 = Temperature Sense connector

JP3 PIN 1-2 = Normal
JP3 PIN 2-3 = Clear CMOS

1. Power off the system and unplug the chassis AC power cord.
2. Short JP3 at PIN 2-3 for a few seconds.
3. Set JP3 back to it's normal position at pin 1-2.
4. Plug the AC power cord to the chassis.
5. Power on the system and load the BIOS setup default.
