Before Beginning To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display drivers and utility software, read the instructions in this chapter carefully. The drivers for the ASMB-820I are located on the software installation CD. 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.
Insert the driver CD into your system's CD-ROM drive. When the folder is dis- played, move the mouse cursor over the folder "01_Intel INF". Find the execut- able in the CSI folder, click to install the driver. Click the Setup icon to execute the program. ASMB-820I User Manual...

Introduction The ASMB-820I has two Gigabit Ethernet LAN connections via dedicated PCI Express x1 lanes: GbE LAN1 - Intel 82579LM; GbE LAN2 - Intel 82574L. They offer bandwidth of up to 500 MB/sec, eliminating the bottleneck of network data flow and incorporating Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbps.
The ASMB-820I’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.
