Overview,

 Continued

CMOS RAM

The Super Voyager PCI-II 486 ISA motherboard has 114 bytes of CMOS RAM. A battery is not provided.

An external 3.6V battery must be connected to J18.

Real Time Clock

The motherboard has a real time clock and CMOS RAM that stores system configuration information used
by WINBIOS Setup.

Onboard I/O

This motherboard includes the following I/O on the motherboard:

two 40-pin IDE connectors for up to four IDE drives with PCI local bus IDE support,

a 34-pin connector to a floppy controller that supports up to two 720 KB, 1.2 MB, 1.44 MB, or
2.88 MB floppy drives with vertical recording support for 2.88 MB floppy drives,

two ten-pin connectors for serial ports,

a 26-pin connector for one bidirectional parallel port with ECP and EPP support on the
motherboard, and

a 10-pin berg for a PS/2 mouse connector.

Serial Ports

The motherboard has two RS232C serial ports for COM1 and COM2.

Onboard Battery

The Super Voyager PCI-II ISA motherboard includes an onboard Ni-Cad battery. You can also use an
external 4.5V alkaline battery instead of the onboard battery.
