Watchdog and Utilities Watchdog Timer Configuration The Watch Dog Timer (WDT) can monitor the system's status. Once you give a value to WDT, the timer will begin to count down. To re-program a new value to WDT, or move keyboard can restart the WDT. If the system is idle or hang, it will reboot when the timer timeout.
5.1.1 WDT1 Programming The function of the watchdog timer is to reset the system automatically. It contains a one-second (or one-minute) resolution down counter (in CRF2 of logical device 8 of super I/O chip) and two Watchdog control registers (CRF4 and CRF3 of logical device 8).
Under Windows NT Before you executing the program under NT, you must run the setup program under Windows NT in advance. Open a DOS command prompt window and execute the following command. test977 <n> : n = second value. For W83977EF 5.1.2 WDT2 Programming The watchdog timer would reset the system automatically if the system...

Hardware Doctor Utility This chapter introduces Hardware Doctor Utility that comes with the CPU board in conjunction with the onboard hardware monitoring function. The section describes the functions of the utility. Hardware Doctor is a self-diagnostic system for PC and must be used with Winbond’s W83781D/W83782D or W83627HF IC series products.
Intel Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) cPCI-3500A series support Intel Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) which provides the capability of boot-up from Ethernet even executing OS installation from Ethernet. There should be a DHCP server in the network with one or more servers running PXE service and MTFTP service. It could be a Windows NT or Windows 2000 server running DHCP, PXE and MTFTP service or a dedicated DHCP server with one or more additional server running PXE and MTFTP service.
