That link goes to a manual that only has 36 pages and nothing mentions CMOS.
That's very odd. When I click on the link, it shows a 56 page document and as mentioned, is on page 38.

Here's the text:

JBAT1: Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS) JumperThere is CMOS memory onboard that is external powered from a battery located onthe motherboard to save system configuration data. If you want to clear the systemconfiguration, set the jumpers to clear the CMOS memory.Keep Data(default)Clear CMOS/Reset BIOSResetting BIOS to default values1. Power off the computer and unplug the power cord.2. Use a jumper cap to short JBAT1 for about 5-10 seconds.3. Remove the jumper cap from JBAT1.4. Plug the power cord and Power on the computer.
 
Everything is running now on one stick of RAM. What can be done to have all four installed without issues?
You don't want to hear this but the solution is to sell your two kits and buy a 2x16 kit.
First buy the new RAM and confirm it's working, THEN sell the old. You know... 😉
