You shouldn't have to reset cmos to install new ram, the bios will recognize it at start up.

You can reset your BIOS by removing the cmos battery. But as already said you do not need to reset your BIOS to install a new RAM.

No need to remove the battery, you just need to set the cmos reset jumper on the mainboard. Boot up... Then reset it back for normal operations.
