Real-Time Clock (RTC) Subsystem 
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock (RTC) and CMOS memory.  
When the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery’s estimated life is 
three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power 
supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to  13 minutes/year at  
25º C with 3.3 VSB applied.

NOTE 
If the battery and AC power fail, the Date and Time values will reset and the user is 
notified during POST. 
When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored 
in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the 
battery with an equivalent one. Figure 1 shows the location of the battery.
