The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the low-level software that configures your hardware. On this Pegatron motherboard, the BIOS is based on an ASUS design and is very similar to other boards of that era.
The header typically consists of a 9-pin or 10-pin block arranged in two rows:
Connect the H.D.D. LED cable here. Pin 1 is Positive (+), Pin 3 is Negative (-).
If the system fails to post or you need to reset BIOS to factory defaults, follow the CMOS clearing instructions: the computer and unplug the power cord. Locate the CLEAR_CMOS jumper (often near the battery). Move the jumper from its default pins 2-3 to pins 1-2 . Wait 5–10 seconds , then return the jumper to pins 2-3 . Plug in the power and restart. 3. BIOS Password Reset
