Real Time Clock

The Intel® QM77 PCH contains a Motorola MC146818B-compati-
ble real-time clock (RTC) with 256 bytes of RAM. The real-time
clock performs two key functions: keeping track of the time of day
and storing system data. The RTC operates on a 32.768 KHz
crystal and is powered by P3V3_AUX or VBAT. There is no exter-
nal RTC battery on the VPX3000 to power the RTC after the sys-
tem is powered off.
