How can I get at the motherboard to remove the CMOS battery, or the JBAT1 plugs?

I am a novice with computers, so I know absolutely no terminology or anything. How can I get at the motherboard to remove the CMOS battery, or move the JBAT1 plugs? Will this erase the data on my computer? Pictures would be nice, but a vivid description will do. Thanks in advance.

Reset bios cmos

Read the PDF in the link below on page #3 listed as JBAT1. Open your case and locate the CMOS reset pins. Move the reset jumper from current position (usually Pins 1+2) to reset position (usually pins 2+3) Power on the computer and hit keyboard key (F10) to get to the Bios and check if Bios was reset.. Consider that password protection will not normally be removed on CMOS reset, you will need to ask HP or look around the internet for a way to reset a password protected Bios.

Where is the clear bios jumper in my mis k9n6pgm-FI motherboard

JBAT1 is right next to the SATA2 connector.

Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1
There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power from external battery to keep the data of system
configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you
use the JBAT1 (Clear CMOS Jumper) to clear data. Follow the instructions below to clear the
data:

You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to 1-2 pin position.
Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard.

Cmos

Hi stan_z4, do you have the manual for you're board?
I'm showing the P4VMM2 is made by ESC = EliteGroup.
Which is not listed above (Intel D845EPI).
If you do have the board EliteGroup P4VMM2 than turn to page 11 in the user manual. The jumper for the cmos/bios JBAT1, Pins must be set to 1 & 2. If JBAT1 is set to pins 2 & 3 you will reset you're bios every time you boot up.

Don't have you're manual? Click on the link.

No video etc.

on the motherboard will be a JBAT1 terminal with the jumper across pins 1-2, so put jumper on pins 2-3, then back to pins 1-2. If not JBAT1, then it may be a 2 pin terminal called CLRCMOS, of which you put a jumper across the two pins for seconds then remove. Although, i can't think of a way to update the bios without seeing whats on the screen.
