Real-Time Clock/Calendar

The real-time clock provides system clock/calendar information stored in a non-volatile
memory (NVRAM). The real-time clock lithium battery 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 legacy device configuration. A number of security,
reliability, and management features also have been incorporated to meet vital server
needs.
