The Enable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 443H whereas the Disable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 045H. A continued Enable cycle after a first Enable cycle means Refresh. Once the Enable cycle is active, a Refresh cycle is requested before the time-out period. This restarts counting of the WDT period. When the time counting goes over the period preset of WDT, it will assume that the program operation is abnormal. A System Reset signal to re-start or a NMI cycle to the CPU transpires when such error happens. Jumper JP6 is used to select the function of Watchdog Timer. � JP6: Watchdog Timer Active Type Setting Options Settings 13 Active NMI Short 1-2 * System Reset Short 2-3 Disabled Watchdog Timer Open � JP4(5-10): WDT Timeout Period Select Period PINS 5-6 PINS 7-8 PINS 9-10 * 1 sec Short Short Short 2 sec Open Short Short 10 sec Short Open Short 20 sec Open Open Short 110 sec Short Short Open 220 sec Open Short Open The Watchdog Timer is disabled after the system Power-On. It can be enabled via an Enable cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Refresh cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Disable cycle and reading the disable control port (045H). After an Enable cycle of WDT, user must immediately execute a Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting comes to an end every 1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds. If the Refresh cycle does not activate before WDT period cycle, the onboard WDT architecture will issue a Reset or NMI cycle to the system.

These drives have a master/slave relationship that is determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks. PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS issue a series of commands to affect the transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This is much simpler and more efficient (also faster). AMIBIOS SETUP – PERIPHERAL SETUP (C)2001 American Megatrends, Inc.
