Keep the cable out and avoid connecting anything to the CMOS jumper pins unless it's an old case reset switch that stays open until you press and hold it for at least ten seconds. Once you release the switch, let the BIOS restart under normal conditions.
The board isn't equipped with a switch. I initially checked for alternatives, but it seems this model lacks that feature unless you're not observing it clearly.
The ongoing debates seem puzzling given the clear instructions in the manual. It’s unusual to use cables for this purpose, and many are unsure why it’s still discussed. The method described involves using a metal object to create a short circuit, which is typically done with specific tools rather than cables. Your curiosity is understandable—this process isn’t commonly explained in standard guides.
