19. WATCHDOG TIMER
The watchdog-timer (WDT) feature is implemented in the Winbond W83977A Super I/O
device. You can configure the WDT from the BIOS setup utility to start after a set
amount of time after power-on boot. The application software will strobe the WDT to
prevent its timeout. Upon timeout, the WDT resets and restarts the system. This provides
a way to recover from program crashes or lockups.
19.1 Configuration
You can program the timeout period for the WDT in ranges from 15 seconds to 30 hours
and 15 minutes.
