This is kind of random, but I'm studying for the A+ cert and something has been on my mind.
I recently learned that there are multiple ways to reset CMOS settings back to factory defaults. Two of the ways are to reseat the battery and to use the jumper that is found on the motherboard.
My question is, why have a jumper if you can just reseat the battery? When would you do one instead of the other?
