  • Page 12: Real-Time Clock

    The recommended method of accessing the date in systems with Intel motherboards is indirectly from the Real-Time Clock (RTC) via the BIOS. The BIOS on Intel motherboards and baseboards contains a century checking and maintenance feature that checks the least two significant digits of the year stored in the RTC during each BIOS request (INT 1Ah) to read the date and, if less than 80 (i.e., 1980 is the first year supported by the PC), updates the century byte to 20.

    Appropriate protection is provided by a maximum 8-A current limiting circuit or a maximum 5-A fuse or positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor. All Intel motherboards now have PTCs on all external ports that provide DC power externally.
  • Page 45: Prevent Power Supply Overload

    BI440ZX Motherboard Product Guide Prevent Power Supply Overload Unless the power supply has inherent overcurrent protection, do not overload the power supply output. To avoid overloading the power supply, make sure that the calculated total current load of all the modules within the computer is less than the output current rating of the power supply. If you do not do this, the power supply could overheat, catch fire, or damage the insulation that separates hazardous AC line circuitry from low-voltage user accessible circuitry.
