Addition of Section Describing Real Time Clock

The following will be added as Section 1.8.5. Following sections will be renumbered as necessary:
1.8.5 Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery
The real-time clock is compatible with DS1287 and MC146818 components. The clock provides a time-of-
day clock and a multicentury calendar with alarm features and century rollover. The real-time clock supports
256 bytes of battery-backed CMOS SRAM in two banks that are reserved for BIOS use.
The time, date, and CMOS values can be specified in the Setup program. The CMOS values can be returned
to their defaults by using the Setup program.
An external coin-cell battery powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer is not
plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the computer is plugged in,
the 3.3 V standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13
minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 V applied.
