Battery
Table 3-20 lists the pin signals of the External Battery Input header for backup RTC (Real Time Clock),
which uses 2 pins with 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch.
Note: The shaded table cells denote power or ground. The RTC pin has an expected current draw of
~36A at room temperature. The battery is used only when power is not applied to the board.
Ethernet External LED
This header provides signals for an external LED that indicates Ethernet links and activity using a single row
of 4 pins with 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch.
Note: The shaded table cell denotes power.
Miscellaneous
SSD (Solid State Drive)
The CoreModule 720 provides an 8GB SATA SSD, which is soldered directly onto the board. For more
information refer to the SSD data sheet: http://www.greenliant.com/dotAsset/45628.pdf
.
Real Time Clock (RTC)
The CoreModule 720 contains a Real Time Clock (RTC). The RTC can be backed up with a battery. If the
battery is not present, a battery-free boot function in the BIOS completes the boot process and resets the
clock to the default date and time.
