You can clear the CMOS *either* by temporarily removing the battery or temporarily changing the jumper setting. Doing both is not required and conveys no advantage. Note that the time required to leave the battery out of the computer varies, but is always *far* longer than .30 seconds. Usually 10-15 minutes is enough, but occasionally it can be as much as several hours.
