complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components to avoid these problems. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis. Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

Appendix A: Programming Watchdog Timer A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware that can be used to automatically detect system anomalies and reset the processor in case there are any problems. Generally speaking, a watchdog timer is based on a counter that counts down from an initial value to zero. The software selects the counter’s initial value and periodically restarts it.
Appendix B: Setting up Console Redirection Console redirection lets you monitor and configure a system from a remote terminal computer by re-directing keyboard input and text output through the serial port. These following steps illustrate how to use this feature. The BIOS of the system allows the redirection of console I/O to a serial port.
