1.8.3 Watchdog timer output and OBS alarm (JWDT1+JOBS1) The AIMB-707 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU. This feature means the AIMB-707 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.
USB ports (JUSB_1) and onboard USB ports (JUSB_2) AIMB-707 allows users to set USB power between +5 V_DUAL and +5 V. When the jumper is set as +5 V, the board doesn't support wake up from S3 via keyboard or mouse.
If JFV1 is set to enable, a dummy monitor on the VGA port is created to prevent the onboard graphics from being switched off while no physical monitors are connected. This function is useful when you control the AIMB-707 via remote KVM (such as Intel® AMT) and do not intend to connect any monitors.
* default setting System Memory AIMB-707 has two 288-pin memory sockets for DDR4 2400/2666/2933 memory modules with maximum capacity of 64 GB (Maximum 32 GB for each DIMM). The motherboard supports non-ECC unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs) and does NOT sup- port registered DIMMs (RDIMMs).
Parallel Port (LPT1) LPT1 The parallel port is normally used to connect the motherboard to a printer. The AIMB- 707 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed through a 25-pin flat-cable connec- tor, LPT1. AIMB-707 User Manual...
