CPU Backup Battery
The CPU/System Controller board has a coin cell socket that accepts a
3.0V, 300 mA-hr lithium battery. This 3.0V battery provides backup
power for the real-time clock and the system’s Static RAM (SRAM).
CPU Memory
There are several different types of memory used by the CPU:
Boot/Downloader FLASH
Boot/download code is contained in a single 512 Kbyte FLASH chip.
Boot FLASH also holds the value of soft switches, audit/archive file
configurations, and user account and port information.
