Battery
To preserve the earth, AOpen AX6B Plus 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.
