In some cases, this is extremely problematical.  Some motherboards have no 
discharge jumper, nor do they have a connector for an add-on battery, which 
can be shorted (probably not a good thing to do, but it sometimes does the 
trick).  In most cases, the discharge jumper and add-on battery connector are 
combined, but if there is neither, you are often forced to desolder the 
on-board capacitor/battery, and wait for up to several hours for the CMOS to 
discharge.
