Real-time Clock and CMOS RAM

CMOS Battery

Since PCI add-in cards use the same interrupt resources as
ISA add-in cards, you must specify the interrupts used by
ISA cards in the Setup program.
The motherboard
ISA/AT-compatible and three dedicated PCI-compatible
expansion slots. Another expansion slot is a combination slot
that can be used for either a PCI or an ISA card. This allows
you to install a maximum of five add-in cards.
The I/O controller provides a real-time clock and CMOS
RAM. You can set the time for the clock and the CMOS
values by using the Setup program described in the BIOS
Chapter. This will need to be carried out if there is a
requirement to change the CMOS battery, as detailed over.
A battery on the motherboard keeps the clock and values in
CMOS RAM current when your computer is turned off.
The battery should last about seven years. When the battery
begins to die, it loses voltage; when the voltage drops below
a certain level, the Setup program settings stored in CMOS
RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be
accurate. Replace the battery with an equivalent one.
WARNING
The CMOS battery is a lithium type. Do not use a metal tool to
remove the battery. An accidental short circuit may cause the
battery to explode. Dispose of the battery according to the
battery manufacturers recommendations.
