Motherboard Features
11
Real-Time Clock
The motherboard has a time-of-day clock and 100-year calendar that will rollover to 2000 at the
turn of the century. A battery on the motherboard keeps the clock current when the computer is
turned off.
✏NOTE
The recommended method of accessing the date in systems with Intel motherboards is indirectly
from the Real-Time Clock (RTC) via the BIOS. The BIOS on Intel motherboards and baseboards
contains a century checking and maintenance feature that checks the least two significant digits of
the year stored in the RTC during each BIOS request (INT 1Ah) to read the date and, if less than
80 (i.e., 1980 is the first year supported by the PC), updates the century byte to 20. This feature
enables operating systems and applications using the BIOS date/time services to reliably
manipulate the year as a four-digit value.
For information about Refer to
Proper date access in systems with Intel
motherboards http://support.intel.com/support/year2000/paper.htm
USB Support
The motherboard has two USB ports. You can connect two USB peripheral devices directly to the
computer without an external hub. To attach more than two devices, connect an external hub to
either of the built-in ports. The motherboard supports the standard universal host controller
interface (UHCI) and takes advantage of standard software drivers written to be compatible with
UHCI.
For information about Refer to
The location of the USB ports Figure 12, page 46
USB legacy support in the BIOS BI440ZX Motherboard Technical Product Specification
available through:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop
✏NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC
Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a
shielded cable that meets the requirements for a high-speed USB device.

BI440ZX Motherboard Product Guide
