ICH8ME PCIe x1 Bus
The Intel® ICH8ME GMCH has six PCIe x1 lanes. Two of the six PCIe lanes are
implemented on the PCISA-9652, including:
Two PCIe x1 lanes are connected to two Intel® 82573L GbE controllers
For more detailed information, please refer to Section 2.7.

ICH8ME Real Time Clock
256 bytes of battery backed RAM is provided by the Motorola MC146818A real time clock
(RTC) integrated into the ICH8ME. The RTC operates on a 3V battery and 32.768KHz
crystal. The RTC keeps track of the time and stores system data even when the system is
turned off.
