The MSP-EXP430FR2433 provides external clocks in addition to the internal clocks in the device.
The 32-kHz crystal allows for lower LPM sleep currents than do the other low-frequency clock sources. Therefore, the presence of the crystal allows the full range of low-power modes to be used.
By default, the crystal is not connected to the MSP430FR2433 because the target pins are multiplexed with 2 BoosterPack header pins. 0-Ω resistors R4 and R5 need to be removed, while R2 and R3 must be shorted across, to connect the external crystal to the MSP430FR2433. See the onboard crystal selection resistors silkscreen for how to configure the resistors to select between the crystal or the BoosterPack pins.
The internal clocks in the device default to the following configuration:
