Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration  
1.1 Introduction  
The PCA-6189 is designed with Intel® 855GME chipset and 6300ESB  
(I/O controller) to support the Intel® Pentium® M / Celeron® M proces-  
sor, high speed DDR333 memory, and high performance I/O functions  
such as dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, Serial/parallel ATA ports, and a PCI-  
X (64-bit / 66Mhz) bus. With the compliance with PICMG 1.0 specifica-  
tion, PCA-6189 can be used with wide choice of existing PCI/ISA back-  
planes to meet versatile requirements of industrial applications.  
The PCA-6189 is designed to deliver high performance but low thermal  
profile best for industrial embedded applications. It uses Intel's long-life  
855GME and 6300ESB chipset, with the socket 479 it can supports vary  
on the Pentium® M and Celeron® M processor by different applications.  
It has 2 DIMM sockets and supports ECC (error checking and correction)  
function for best reliability. It accepts up to 2GB DDR 333/266 SDRAM  
memory, enough for most of applications. PCA-6189 could support dual  
Giga LAN with the Gigabit Ethernet ports controller -- Intel® 82541  
which is connected to the 32-bit PCI bus of the 6300ESB I/O controller.  
With the 855GME integrated graphic controller PCA-6189 provides one  
VGA display connector one LVDS and one DVI interface for panel dis-  
play. Two serial ATA ports (up to 150MB/s)which can support RAID 0,1  
functions and allows the use of thin and long SATA cables for storage  
devices, eliminating the cabling issue inside an industrial grade chassis.  
In addition, the PCA-6189 also provides most of the popular I/O inter-  
faces such as four USB 2.0 ports, AC-97 audio interface, 2 RS-232 ports,  
one enhanced parallel port and floppy disk interface.  
The PCA-6189 is designed with reliability considerations to be suitable  
for industrial environments. A specially designed heat-sink is attached to  
the main chips to keep them cool and to extend the operating temperature  
to 60 degree Celsius. The CMOS data backup and restore function pro-  
tects the BIOS setup data from loss due to battery failure. A 256-level  
watchdog timer prevents the system from hanging up if a program cannot  
be executed normally. A remote management port allows users to moni-  
tor the system healthy status and control the system remotely through the  
standard SNMP/HTTP protocols when used with Advantech's SNMP-  
1000 Intelligent System Manager.

1.7 Safety Precautions  
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord  
from your chassis whenever you work with the  
hardware. Do not make connections while the  
power is on. Sensitive electronic components  
can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only  
experienced electronics personnel should open  
the PC chassis.  
Caution!  
Always ground yourself to remove any static  
charge before touching the single board com-  
puter. Modern electronic devices are very sen-  
sitive to static electric charges. As a safety  
precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all  
times. Place all electronic components on a  
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded  
bag when they are not in the chassis.  
Caution!  
The computer is provided with a battery-pow-  
ered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger  
of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.  
Replace only with same or equivalent type rec-  
ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used  
batteries according to manufacturer's instruc-  
tions.  
Notice: Before install your PCA-6189 into a chassis, make sure that all components  
on both sides of the CPU card do not touch any metal parts, especially the chassis  
wall and add-on card at the adjacent slot.

1.8 Jumper Settings  
This section provides instructions on how to configure your single board  
computer by setting the jumpers. It also includes the single board com-  
puter's default settings and your options for each jumper.  
1.8.1 How to set jumpers  
You can configure your single board computer to match the needs of your  
application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes  
an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip  
(often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect  
them. To “close” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the  
clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes  
a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case  
you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers  
may be useful when setting jumpers.  
1.8.2 CMOS clear (J1)  
The PCA-6189 single board computer contains a jumper that can erase  
CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this  
jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS  
data, set J1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper  
back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default set-  
ting.

1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (J2)  
The PCA-6189 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or send  
a signal to IRQ11 in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature  
means the PCA-6189 will recover from a software failure or an EMI  
problem. The J2 jumper settings control the outcome of what the com-  
puter will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.

Note:  
The interrupt output of the watchdog timer is a  
low level signal. It will be held low until the  
watchdog timer is reset.  
1.9 System Memory  
The PCA-6189 has two sockets for 184-pin dual inline memory modules  
(DIMMs).  
All these sockets use 2.5 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous  
DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 128, 256,  
512 and 1024 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with  
DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 128 MB and 2  
GB.

The PCA-6189 supports ECC (error checking and correction), and mem-  
ory modules with 9 SDRAM chips/side support ECC.  
1.10 Memory Installation Procedures  
To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket  
are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the  
DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then  
press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a  
click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the mem-  
ory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the  
memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory mod-  
ule will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.  
1.11 Processor Installation  
The CPU on the board must have a fan or heat sink attached, to prevent  
overheating.  
PCA-6189 User’s Manual  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
Warning:  
Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will over-heat  
and cause damage to both the CPU and the single  
board computer. To install a CPU, first turn off your  
system and remove its cover. Locate the processor  
socket 479.  
1. To open the socket, turn the socket screw clockwise as far as it will go.  
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket and then follow the instructions that  
came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, complete the following  
procedure:  
- Carefully align the CPU on top of the socket, making sure the  
corner pin patterns of the CPU match the patterns on the socket.  
- Gently place the CPU on top of the socket. It should insert easily.  
If it does not insert easily, check that the socket screw is turned clockwise  
as far as possible.  
3. After the CPU has been inserted, turn the screw counter-clockwise as  
far as it will go to lock the CPU into position. The top plate of the socket  
should slide up into the locked position. You will feel some resistance  
against the screw as the CPU pins tighten in the socket. This is normal  
and will not damage the CPU. Turn the screw counter-clockwise as far as  
it will go.

Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals  
2.1 Introduction  
You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board while it  
is installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or have  
a packed chassis, you may need to partially remove the card to make all  
the connections.  
2.2 1st & 2nd (CN1, CN2) IDE Connectors  
CN1  
CN2  
You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the  
PCA-6189’s built-in controller. The primary (CN1) and secondary (CN2)  
connectors can each accommodate two drives.  
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray.  
Connect one end to connector CN1 or CN2 on the single board computer.  
Make sure that the red/blue wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector (in  
the upper right hand corner). See Chapter 1 for help finding the connec-  
tor.  
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on  
the cable. If you install two drives to a single connector, you will need to  
set one as the master and the other as the slave. You do this by setting the  
jumpers on the drives. If you use just one drive per connector, you should  
set each drive as the master. See the documentation that came with your  
drive for more information.  
PCA-6189 User’s Manual

Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the  
cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which is  
labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation that came  
with the drive for more information.  
Connect the second hard drive to the remaining connector (CN2 or CN1),  
in the same way as described above.  
2.3 Floppy Drive Connector (CN3)

2.4 Parallel Port (CN4)  
CN4  
The parallel port is normally used to connect the single board computer to  
a printer. The PCA-6189 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed  
through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, CN4. The card comes with an  
adapter cable which lets you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The cable  
has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other,  
mounted on a retaining bracket. The bracket installs at the end of an  
empty slot in your chassis, giving you access to the connector.  
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed  
to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.  
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the  
plate that covers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in place of the  
plate. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to CN4 on the CPU card. Wire  
1 of the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. Make sure that  
wire 1 corresponds to pin 1 of CN4. Pin 1 is on the upper right side of  
CN4.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup  
3.1 Introduction  
Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows you to mod-  
ify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in  
battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup infor-  
mation when the power is turned off.  
3.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore  
The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When  
you finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically  
backed up to Flash ROM. If operation in a harsh industrial environment  
causes a soft error, BIOS will recheck the data in CMOS RAM and auto-  
matically restore the original data in Flash ROM to CMOS RAM for  
booting.  
Note:  
If you intend to change the CMOS setting with-  
out restoring the previous backup, you have to  
click on "DEL" within two seconds of the  
"CMOS checksum error..." display screen mes-  
sage appearing. Then enter the "Setup" screen  
to modify the data. If the "CMOS checksum  
error..." message appears again and again,  
please check to see if you need to replace the  
battery in your system.

another device. This allows computers with no floppy disk drives to boot  
into Windows 95 normally. When set to No, Windows 95 will detect the  
absence of the floppy disk drive and halt the system with an error mes-  
sage. Please note that this BIOS feature has no relevance in other operat-  
ing systems. Only Windows 95 is affected. It does not matter what you set  
this BIOS option to if you are using other operating systems.

Chapter 4 Chipset Software Install Utility  
4.1 Before you begin  
To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display device drivers and  
utility software, you should read the instructions in this chapter carefully  
before you attempt installation. The device drivers for the PCA-6189  
board are located on the software installation CD. The auto-run function  
of the driver CD will guide and link you to the utilities and device drivers  
under a Windows system. The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility  
is not required on any systems running Windows NT 4.0. Updates are  
provided via Service Packs from Microsoft.  
Note:  
The files on the software installation CD are  
compressed. Do not attempt to install the driv-  
ers by copying the files manually. You must use  
the supplied SETUP program to install the driv-  
ers.  
Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers need to  
have the relevant software application already installed in the system  
prior to installing the enhanced display drivers. In addition, many of the  
installation procedures assume that you are familiar with both the rele-  
vant software applications and operating system commands. Review the  
relevant operating system commands and the pertinent sections of your  
application software’s user’s manual before performing the installation.  
4.2 Introduction  
The Intel Chipset Software Installation (CSI) utility installs to the target  
system the Windows INF files that outline to the operating system how

Chapter 5 VGA Setup  
5.1 Introduction  
The PCA-6189 has VGA onboard, you need to install the VGA driver to  
enable the function.  
The Intel 855GME Chipset provides a highly integrated graphics acceler-  
ator delivering high performance 2D, 3D, and video capabilities. With its  
interfaces to UMA using a DVMT configuration, an analog display, a  
LVDS port, and two digital display ports (e.g. flat panel), the GMCH can  
provide a complete graphics  
solution.  
The Intel 855GME also provides 2D hardware acceleration for block  
transfers of data (BLTs). The BLT engine provides the ability to copy a  
source block of data to a destination and perform raster operations  
(e.g.,ROP1, ROP2, and ROP3) on the data using a pattern, and/or another  
destination. Performing these  
common tasks in hardware reduces CPU load, and thus improves perfor-  
mance.  
High bandwidth access to data is provided through the system memory  
interface. The GMCH uses  
Tiling architecture to increase system memory efficiency and thus maxi-  
mize effective rendering bandwidth. The Intel 855GME Chipset  
improves 3D performance and quality with 3D Zone rendering technol-  
ogy. The Intel 855GME GMCH also supports Video Mixer rendering,  
and Bi-Cubic filtering.  
5.2 Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)  
The Intel 855GME supports DVMT in a non-graphics system memory  
configuration. DVMT is a mechanism that manages system memory and  
the internal graphics device for optimal graphics performance. DVMT  
enabled software drivers, working with the memory arbiter and the oper-  
ating system, utilize the system memory to support 2D graphics and 3D  
applications. DVMT dynamically responds to application requirements  
by allocating the proper amount of display and texturing memory.

Chapter 7 SCSI Setup & Configuration  
7.1 Introduction  
The PCA-6189 is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7899 single-chip PCI-  
to-SCSI host adapter which provides a dual channel Ultra 160 multi-  
tasking interface between your computer.s PCI bus and SCSI devices  
(disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media  
drives, etc.). Ultra 160 is a new generation of SCSI technology that  
expands SCSI performance from 80 MBytes/sec to 160 MBytes/ sec. Up  
to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be connected to each of the SCSI con-  
nectors.  
The AIC-7899 combines this Ultra 160 SCSI technology with Adaptec.s  
SpeedFlex. technology. SpeedFlex allows the Adaptec SCSI card to be  
backwards compatible with previous generations of SCSI products, while  
allowing newer Ultra 160 SCSI devices to operate at the higher 160  
MBytes/sec rate.  
There are 3 SCSI connectors on the CPU card: CN50 and CN51 for Ultra  
160 devices, and CN52 for 50-pin SCSI devices. You can use Ultra 160  
and Ultra wide devices simultaneously without compromising the perfor-  
mance.  
If you need to configure the SCSI, the onboard SCSI Select configuration  
utility allows you to change host adapter settings without opening the  
computer or handling the board. The SCSI Select utility also contains a  
utility to low-level format and verifies the disk media on your hard disk  
drives.  
Note:  
If any peripheral is running at SE mode, the  
Ultra 160 SCSI segment will run at speeds up to  
40 MBytes/sec only instead of 160 MBytes/sec.

7.2 Understanding SCSI  
SCSI (pronounced .scuzzy.) stands for Small Computer Systems Inter-  
face. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting  
SCSI devices to a common SCSI bus.  
A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI interface  
installed in a computer and one or more SCSI devices. SCSI cables are  
used to connect the devices to the SCSI interface. For the SCSI bus to  
function properly, a unique SCSI ID must be assigned to the SCSI inter-  
face and each SCSI device connected to it, and the SCSI bus must be  
properly terminated.  
7.3 SCSI IDs  
Each device attached to the SCSI bus, as well as the SCSI controller  
itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15. A SCSI  
ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus and determines  
priority when two or more devices are trying to use the SCSI bus at the  
same time.  
Refer o the device.s documentation to set the SCSI ID. Here are some  
general guidelines for SCSI IDs:  
• For internal SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set by configuring a  
jumper on the device.  
• For external SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set with a switch on  
the back of the device.  
• SCSI ID numbers don.t have to sequential, as long as the SCSI control-  
ler and each device has a different number.  
• For example, you can have an internal SCSI device with ID 0, and an  
external SCSI device with ID 6.  
• SCSI ID 7 has the highest priority on the SCSI bus. The priority of the  
remaining IDs, in descending order, is 6 to 0, then 15 to 8.  
• The on-boards SCSI interface is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be  
changed. This gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.  
• Most internal SCSI hard disk drives come from the factory pre-set to  
SCSI ID 0.  
• If you have 8-bit (or Narrow) SCSI devices, they must use SCSI IDs 0,  
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. SCSI ID 0 is recommended for the first SCSI hard  
disk drive.  
71  
Chapter7  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
• If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive con-  
nected to the SCSI bus, the Boot SCSI ID setting in the SCSISelect  
utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the device from which you  
are booting. By default, the Boot SCSI ID is set to 0. We recommend  
that you do not change this setting.  
• In Windows 95/98, you can use the Device Manager to determine  
which SCSI ID is assigned to each installed SCSI device.  
7.4 Terminating the SCSI Bus  
To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the ends of the SCSI  
bus must be properly terminated. This is accomplished when the device at  
the end of the each cable, or the end of the cable itself, has a terminator  
installed (or enabled). Terminators must be removed, or termination must  
be disabled, on devices between the ends of each cable.  
Since the method for terminating a SCSI device can vary widely, refer to  
the device.s documentation for instructions on how to enable or disable  
termination. Here are some general guidelines for termination:  
• Internal Ultra 160 and Ultra 2 SCSI devices come from the factory with  
termination disabled and cannot be changed. Proper termination for  
internal Ultra 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices is provided by a 68-pin  
Internal LVD (low voltage differential) SCSI cable, which has a built-  
in terminator at its end.  
• Termination on non-Ultra 160 and Ultra2 internal SCSI devices usually  
is controlled by manually setting a jumper or a switch on the device, or  
by physically removing or installing one or more resistor modules on  
the device.  
• Termination on most external SCSI devices is controlled by installing  
or removing a SCSI terminator. However, termination on some exter-  
nal SCSI devices is enable or disabled by setting a switched on the  
back of the SCSI device.  
The last external Ultra160 or Ultra2 SCSI device must be terminated with  
an LVD/SE (low voltage differential/single ended) terminator plug to  
ensure that the device will operate at its maximum speed. If you use a dif-  
ferent kind of terminator plug, the data I/O rate will decrease.  
By default, termination on the SCSI controller itself is set to Automatic  
(the preferred method). We recommend that you do not change this  
default setting.

SCSI Bus Interface Definitions  
Host Adapter SCSI ID-(Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI  
controller. The Adaptec SCSI controller AIC-7899 is set at 7, which  
gives the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We recommend that you do  
not change this setting.  
SCSI Parity Checking-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, veri-  
fies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Leave this setting  
enabled unless any SCSI device does not support SCSI parity.  
Host Adapter SCSI Termination-(Default: Automatic) Determines  
the termination setting for the SCSI card. The default setting for both  
the LVD/SE (low voltage differential/single ended) connectors and SE  
connectors is Automatic, which allows the SCSI card to adjust the ter-  
mination as needed depending on the configuration of the connected  
SCSI devices. We recommend that you do not change these settings.  
Boot Device Options  
Boot SCSI ID-(Default: 0) Specifies the SCSI ID of your boot  
device. We recommend that you don’t change the default setting.  
Boot LUN Number-(Default: 0) Specifies which LUN (Logical Unit  
Number) to boot from on your boot device. This setting is not valid  
unless Multiple LUN Support is Enabled  
SCSI Device Configuration  
SCSI Device Configuration options can be set individually for each con-  
nected SCSI device.  
Note:  
To configure settings for a SCSI device, you  
must know it.s SCSI ID  
Sync Transfer Rate-(Default: 160) Determines the maximum syn-  
chronous data transfer rate that the SCSI card supports. Use the maxi-  
mum value of 160 MBytes/sec.

Initiate Wide Negotiation-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI  
card attempts 16-bit data transfer (wide negotiation.) When set to No,  
the SCSI card uses 8-bit data transfer unless the SCSI device requests  
wide negotiation.  
Note:  
Set Initiate Wide Negotiation to NO if you are  
using an 8-bit SCSI device that hangs or exhib-  
its other performance problems with 16-bit data  
transfer rate enabled.  
Enable Disconnection-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, allows the  
SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus. Leave the setting at  
Yes if two or more SCSI device is connected, changing the setting to  
No results in slightly better performance.  
Send Start Unit Command-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the Start  
Unit Command is sent to the SCSI device at bootup.  
The following three options have no effect if the SCSI Card BIOS is dis-  
abled. (The SCSI Cards BIOS is normally enabled by default.)  
Enable Write Back Cache-(Default: N/C) Can be used to enable or  
disable the write-back cache on SCSI disk drives connected to the host  
adapter. Leave this option at its default setting of N/C (no change),  
which usually allow for optimum drive performance.  
BIOS Multiple LUN Support-(Default: No) Leave this setting at No if  
the device does not have multiple Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs.)  
When set to Yes, the SCSI card BIOS provides boot support for a SCSI  
device with multiple LUNs (for example, a CD jukebox. device in  
which multiple CDs can be accessed simultaneously.)  
Include in BIOS Scan-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI card  
BIOS includes the device as part of its BIOS scan at bootup.  
Advanced Configuration Options  
Note:  
Do not change the Advanced Configuration  
Options unless absolutely necessary.

<Ctrl> <A> for SCSI Select (TM) Utility! message on your screen dur-  
ing system bootup. If this setting disabled, you can still invoke the  
SCSISelect Utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the SCSI card BIOS  
banner appears.  
Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte-(Default:  
Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation  
scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GByte. This  
setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not required  
for other operating systems, such as NetWare of UNIX.  
Caution:  
Changing the translation scheme destroys all  
data on the drive. Be sure to back your disk  
drives before changing the translation scheme.  
Use the MS-DOS Fdisk command to partition a disk laster than 1GByte  
controlled by the SCSI card BIOS, when using DOS, Windows 3.1.x, or  
Windows 95/98.  
Verbose/Silent Mode-(Default: Verbose) When set to Verbose, the  
SCSI card BIOS displays the host adapter model on the screen during  
system buildup. When set to Silent, the message is not displayed dur-  
ing bootup.  
Host Adapter BIOS (Configuration Utility Reserves BIOS Space)-  
(Default: Enabled) Enables or disables the SCSI card BIOS.  
• Leave at Enabled to allow the SCSI card BIOS to scan and initialize all  
SCSI devices.  
• Set to Disabled: Not scan if the devices on the SCSI bus (for example,  
CD-ROM drives) are controlled by software drivers and do not need  
the BIOS, and you do not want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.  
• Set to Disabled: Scan Bus if you do not need the BIOS, but you want it  
to scan the SCSI devices on the bus and you need to spin up the  
devices.  
The following four options have no effect when the SCSI Card BIOS is  
disabled. (The SCSI Card BIOS is normally enabled by default.)  
Domain Validation.(Default: Enabled) Determines the optimal transfer  
rate for each device on the SCSI bus and sets transfer rates accordingly.

Programming the  
Watchdog Timer

Appendix A Programming the watchdog  
A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer  
The PCA-6189's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software  
operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function after  
the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the  
watchdog timer and how to program it.  
A.1.1 Watchdog timer overview  
The watchdog timer is built-in the super I/O controller W83627HF. It  
provides the following functions for user programming:  
• Can be enabled and disabled by user's program.  
• Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes.  
• Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the  
timer after time-out.  
A.1.2 Reset/ Interrupt selection  
The J2 jumper is used to select reset or interrupt (IRQ 11) in the event the  
watchdog timer is tripped. See Chapter 1 for detailed jumper settings.  
Note:  
The interrupt output of the watchdog timer is a low  
level signal. It will be held low until the watchdog timer  
is reset.  
A.1.3 Programming the Watchdog Timer  
The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E(hex) and 2F(hex).  
2E (hex) is the address port. 2F(hex) is the data port.  
You must first assign the address of register by writing address value  
into address port 2E(hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned  
register through data port 2F (hex).

a new value to this register  
can reset the timer to count  
with the new value.
