Clear Cmos; Watch Dog - Supermicro X7DBR-8 User Manual

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact
pads to prevent the accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal
object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short
the connection. Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clear-
ing CMOS. Note: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, remove the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Watch Dog Enable/Disable
JWD controls the Watch Dog function, a system
monitor that takes action when a software ap-
plication freezes the system. Close Pins 1-2 to
reset the system if an application hangs. Close
Pins 2-3 to generate a non-maskable interrupt
signal for the application that hangs. See the ta-
ble on the right for jumper settings. Watch Dog
must also be enabled in the BIOS.
Note: When enabled, the user needs to write his
or her own application software in order to dis-
able the Watch Dog Timer.
