Asrock has a function called B.F.G. It can be enabled or disabled. Mess with it.
Boards can be used without a battery, restoring defaults from the EEPROM. In this mode, date and time are not maintained.
All asrock boards will still post without a battery.
In some cases you may need to clear the CMOS settings but rare in an Asrock k7 series.
