bh7 question

Hey guys, i jsut got my BH7 and i'm really excited. However, before i start putting in the cpu, ram, etc., should i clear the cmos? In the manual, it says the first thing to do is clear cmos. I plan on using a hard drive that already has some stuff, but the first thing i'm gonna do is format the drive. But before i format the drive, should i clear the cmos? Or should i do it after? thanks

It's a good idea to clear it and it dosn't hurt anything. You have to set up the bios to the parts you have anyway.

i haven't cleard the cmos, eveyting works fine

Doesn't matter if you clear or not. If it's handy, go ahead and clear if the manual suggests it.
