H8DCE User's Manual Watch Dog Enable/Disable JWD controls the Watch Dog function. Watch Dog is a system monitor that can reboot the system when a software application hangs. Pins 1-2 will cause WD to reset the system if an applica- tion has frozen. Pins 2-3 will generate a non-maskable interrupt signal for the application that is frozen. See the table on the right for jumper settings. Watch Dog must also be enabled in BIOS (set- ting located in the Power Menu). Note: When enabled, the user needs to write their own application software in or- der to disable the Watch Dog timer.
