Real time clock and CMOS memory
The Real Time Clock and the RAM CMOS (backed up by a lithium
battery) are integrated into the southbridge ICH8M.
The configuration selected via the system setup menus is saved in
the 256 locations of non-volatile RAM.
Compact Flash
The connector J17 can host devices of Compact Flash Types 1 and
2. These devices are based on Flash technology and allow
emulation of hard disks with the possibilities reading, writing, and
variable capacity. The PATA type interface uses one of the two
devices that can be connected to the primary IDE channel and with a
jumper it can be set as master or slave.
Hardware monitor
The hardware monitor device allows monitoring of the temperature of
the microprocessor and of the card, of the supply voltages and of the
speed of the tachometric fans.
These amounts can be shown on a window in a Microsoft
environment through the use of a specific programmed provided in
the support CD included with the card.
