Sightings of CMOS corruption have been observed at the Intel factory and have been traced back to a capacitor on the back side of the Intel® Server Board SE7320SP2 and SE7525GP2 which is part of the CLEAR CMOS circuit. If this capacitor is inadvertently grounded, either by touching a metal surface such as a chassis or by being touched by a human hand, it can lead to corruption of the CMOS settings.
