5 Watchdog Timer ETX-GLX implements a watchdog timer (WDT) embedded in the LPC based Winbond 83627HG Super I/O controller. The Watchdog timer consists of a one-second/minute resolution counter (CRF6 of logical device 8 of 83627HG) and two Watchdog control registers (CRF5 and CRF7 of logical device 8). Once a value is set in the WDT, the timer begins to count down.

Options: Disabled/Enabled CMOS Backup to EEPROM The ETX-GLX has an onboard EEPROM to provide storage for CMOS backup. If the system is using no CMOS battery and has no permanent 5Vsb, then CMOS settings will be lost after power down. When the CMOS backup feature is enabled, the BIOS copies CMOS settings into EEPROM after saving and exiting from BIOS setup menu.
