To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display drivers and utility software, read the instructions in this chapter carefully. The drivers for the ASMB-816 are available online for download from the Advantech support website at https://advt.ch/ searc8f16d. Before beginning, it is important to note that most display drivers need to have the relevant software application already installed on the system prior to installing the enhanced display drivers.
4.2.3 LAN Configuration The ASMB-816 has two Gigabit Ethernet LAN connections via dedicated PCI Express x1 lanes: GbE LAN1 - Intel I210 and GbE LAN2 - I210; two 10G Base-T LAN connectors LAN3 and LAN4 - Intel X550 PHY. They eliminate bottlenecks in network data flow when incorporating Gigabit Ethernet at 10Gbps.
The ASMB-816’s watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function within the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the watchdog timer and how to pro- gram it. Watchdog Timer Overview The watchdog timer is built in to the EC controller IT8528E.
