Battery-less Design

Battery
To preserve the earth, AOpen AX6BC implements the world first battery-less
motherboard design. There is no need to have battery for RTC (real time clock)
and CMOS Setup as long as ATX power cable is plugged. In case of the AC
power is shutdown or power cord is removed by accident, the CMOS Setup and
system configuration can be restored from EEPROM, only the system clock
needed to be re-set to current date/time.
For the convenience of end user, AX6BC still shipped with one Lithium (CR-
2032) battery. If you prefer to use battery, you can still Insert it into battery
socket. The RTC will still keep running even power cord is removed.

1.10 Sound Blaster Link

AX6BC implements a SB-LINK connector to support Creative-compatible PCI
sound card. If you have a Creative-compatible PCI sound card installed, it is
necessary to link the card to SB-LINK connector for compatibility issue under
DOS environment.
