    6GXU 3.6. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM There're RTC & CMOS SRAM on board; they have a power supply from external battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC is a REAL- TIME CLOCK device, which provides the DATE & TIME to system. The CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of system configuration, so the system can automatically boot OS every time.
  • Page 20: Keyboard & Ps/2 Mouse Installation

    Hardware Installation 3.12. KEYBOARD & PS/2 MOUSE INSTALLATION The main board supports PS/2 Mouse (J1). The BIOS will auto detect whether the PS/2 Mouse is installed or not & assign IRQ12 for PS/2 Mouse port if it is installed. After installing the peripheral device, the user should check everything again, and prepare to power-on the system.
