The system board also contains five PCI bus master I/O expansion slots (Figure 2-3, B). One of these slots shares a common chassis I/O expansion slot with one of the EISA slots; if you use this slot as a PCI slot, you cannot use it as an EISA slot.

Real-Time Clock/Calendar

The real-time clock provides system clock/calendar information stored in a non-volatile memory (NVRAM). The real-time clock battery (Figure 2-3, S) provides power backup for the real-time clock.

BIOS

A BIOS and Setup Utility are located in the Flash EPROM on the system board and include support for system setup and PCI/ISA Plug-and-Play auto- configuration.

A number of security, reliability, and management features also have been incorporated to meet vital server needs.
