1.4.2 BIOS CMOS (JCMOS1) AIIS-1240 CPU card contains a jumper that can erase BIOS CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset those data, set JCMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few sec- onds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed.
Hardware Monitor Alarm (JOBS1) and Watchdog Timer Output (JWDT1) AIIS-1240 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature means AIIS-1240 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.
