AIMB-215 User Manual 8 This section provides instructions on how to configure the motherboard by setting jumpers, and also outlines the default motherboard settings and options for each jumper. 1.9.1 Setting Jumpers 1.9.2 CMOS Mode Selection (JRTCTEST1) The AIMB-215 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. This jumper is typically set with Pins 1 and 2 being closed. To reset the CMOS data, set J1 to Pins 2 and 3 as closed for a few seconds before moving the jumper back to Pins 1 and 2 as closed. This procedure resets the CMOS to its default settings. Table 1.2: CMOS Mode Selection (JRTCTEST1) Function Setting 1 Normal (Default) 1 Clear CMOS 9 AIMB-215 User Manual General Information The motherboard can be configured according to the application requirements with the setting of jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electrical circuit. Jumpers typically consist 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, connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, simply remove the clip. Some jumpers comprise a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. With these jumpers, simply connect either Pins 1 and 2, or Pins 2 and 3. A pair of needlenose pliers may be necessary for setting jumpers.

The operations and procedures for programming the watchdog timer are described in this section. A.1.1 Watchdog Timer Overview The watchdog timer is built into the NCT6106D super I/O controller, and facilitates the following user-programmable functions: Can be enabled and disabled via a user program The timer interval can be set as 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes Generates an interrupt or reset signal if the software fails to reset the timer before timeout A.1.2 Programming the Watchdog Timer The I/O port base addresses for the watchdog timer are 2E (hex) and 2F (hex), where 2E (hex) is the address port, and 2F (hex) is the data port. Users must first assign register addresses by inputting an address value into address port 2E (hex) before writing/reading data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex). AIMB-215 User Manual 90 Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer Unlock NCT6106D Select a register for the watchdog timer Enable the function of the watchdog timer Use the function of the watchdog timer Lock NCT6106D 91 AIMB-215 User Manual Table A.1: Watchdog Timer Registers Register Address (2E) Attribute Read/Write Value (2F) and description 87 (hex) ----- Write this address to I/O address port 2E (hex) twice to unlock NCT6106D. 07 (hex) write Write 08 (hex) to the selected watchdog timer register. 30 (hex) write Write 01 (hex) to enable the function of the watchdog timer. The default setting is “Disabled”. F0 (hex) write Set the timer unit as seconds or minutes. Write 0 to bit 3: set the unit of measurement as seconds (default). Write 1 to bit 3: set the unit of measurement as minutes. F1 (hex) write 0: stop timer (default) 01~FF (hex): The timer value, in seconds or minutes, depends on the value set in Register F5 (hex). This value determines how long the watchdog timer waits for the strobe before generating an interrupt or reset signal. Writing a new value to this register resets the timer to count using the new value. F2 (hex) read/write Bit 7: Write 1 to enable the mouse to reset the timer, or 0 to disable this function (default). Bit 6: Write 1 to enable the keyboard to reset the timer, or 0 to disable this function (default). Bit 5: Write 1 to immediately generate a timeout signal before automatically returning to 0 (default = 0). Bit 4: Read the watchdog timer status, 1 means the timer has reach timeout. AA (hex) ----- Write this address to I/O port 2E (hex) to lock the watchdog timer. AIMB-215 User Manual 92 1.
