WADE-8656 allows users control wdt thro ugh dynamic software programming. the wdt starts counting when it is activated. it sends out a signal to system reset or to non-maskable interrupt (nmi), when time-out interval en ds. to prevent the time-out interval from running out, a re-trigger signal will need to be sent before the counting reaches its end. this action will restart the counting process. a well-written wdt program should keep the counting proce ss running under normal condition. wdt should never generate a system reset or nmi signal unless the system runs into troubles.
system installation WADE-8656 user?s manual 3-7 the related control registers of wdt are all included in the following sample program that is written in c language. user can fill a non-zero value into the time-out value register to enable/refresh wdt. system will be reset after the time-out value to be counted down to zero. or user can directly fill a zero value into time-out value register to disable wd t immediately. to ensure a successful accessing to the content of desired cont rol register, the sequence of following program codes should be step-by-step run again when each register is accessed. additionally, there are maximum 2 seconds of counting tolerance that should be considered into user? application program. for more information about wdt, please refer to winbond w83627hg-aw data sheet. there are two pnp i/o port addresses that can be used to configure wdt, 1) 0x2e:efir (extended function index re gister, for identifying cr index number) 2) 0x2f:efdr (extended function data register, for accessing desired cr) below are some example codes, which demonstrate the use of wdt. //step1. enter w83627hg configuration registers mode: outportb(0x2e, 0x87); outportb(0x2e, 0x87); //* step2. pin89 to be wdto outportb(0x2e, 0x2b); outportb(0x2e + 1, 0x04); //* step3. select logic device 8: outportb(0x2e, 0x07); outportb(0x2e + 1, 0x08); //* step4. config wdt using second to be unit: outportb(0x2e, 0xf5); outportb(0x2e + 1, 0x00); //* step5. set wdt time-out time: outportb(0x2e, 0xf6); outportb(0x2e + 1, time_out); //* step6. exit configuration registers mode: outportb(0x2e, 0xaa);

bios setup information WADE-8656 user?s manual 4-26 password disabled when a password has been enabled, user will be prompted to enter it every time user tries to enter setup. this prevents an unau thorized person from changing any part of your system configuration. additionally, when a password is enabled, yo u can also require the bios to request a password every time your system is reboot ed. this would prevent unauthorized use of the computer. user may determine when the password is re quired within the bios features setup menu and its security option (see section 3). if the security option is set to ?system?, the password will be required both at boot an d at entry to setup. if set to ?setup?, prompting only occurs when trying to enter setup. 4.14 exiting selection save & exit setup pressing on this item asks for confirmation: save to cmos and exit (y/n)? y pressing ?y? stores the selections made in the menus in cmos ? a special section of memory that stays on after sy stem off. during subsequnet booting of computer, the bios configures the system according to th e setup selections stored in cmos. after saving the values the system is restarted again. exit without saving pressing on this item asks for confirmation: quit without saving (y/n)? n this allows user to exit setup without st oring in cmos any change. the previous selections remain in effect. this exits the setup utility and restarts your computer.
troubleshooting WADE-8656 user?s manual 5-1 chapter 5 troubleshooting this chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get WADE-8656 running with success. as basic hardware installation has been addressed in chapter 2, this chapter will primarily focus on system integration issues, in terms of bios setting, and os diagnostics. 5.1 hardware quick installation p4 power connector WADE-8656 requires power drawing from two power connectors (j14 and j29). the cpu supplementary power connector (j14) ha s to be connected to a system all the time. otherwise, the system won?t boot up properly. if j14 isn?t connected, it could cause system for failed to boot up. serial ata hard disk setting for ide/raid/ahci unlike ide bus, each serial ata channel can only connect to one sata hard disk at a time; there are total two connectors, j18, j 19, j20, j21, j30 and j31. the installation of serial ata is simpler and easier than ide, because sata hard disk doesn?t require setting up master and slave, which can redu ce mistake of hardware installation. all you need to operate ide, raid and ahci application for system, please follow up setting guide in bios programming (table 5-1); furthermore, you can consult chapter 4 partially of ?onchip ide device?.

[ide/raid/ahci] 5.2 bios setting it is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the devices cables required before turnin g on atx power. cpu, cpu fan, 240-pin ddr2 sdram, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, ide hard disk, printer, vga connector, device cables, atx accessories or 12v 4- pin power cable are good examples that deserve attention. with no assurance of properly and correctly accommodating these modules and devices, it is very possible to encounter system failu res that result in malfunction of any device. to make sure that you have a successful start with WADE-8656, it is recommended, when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit ?del? key and enter the bios setup menu to tune up a stable bi os configuration so that you can wake up your system far well. loading the default optimal setting when prompted with the main setu p menu, please scroll down to ? load optimal defaults ?, press ?enter? and ?y? to load in de fault optimal bios setup. this will force your bios setting back to the initial factory configuration. it is recommended to do this so you can be sure the system is running with the bios setting that portwell has highly endorsed. as a matter of fact, us ers can load the default bios setting any time when system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence. auto detect hard disks in the bios => standard cmos se tup menu, pick up any one from primary/secondary master/slave ide ports, and press ?enter?. setup the selected ide port and its access mode to ?auto?. this will force system to automatically pick up the ide devices that are being connected each time system boots up.
troubleshooting WADE-8656 user?s manual 5-3 improper disable operation there are too many occasions where users disable a certain device/feature in one application through bios setting. these variab les may not be set back to the original values when needed. these devices/featur es will certainly fail to be detected. when the above conditions happen, it is strongly recommended to check the bios settings. make sure certain items are set as they should be. these include the com1/ com2 ports, usb ports, external cache, on-board vga and ethernet. it is also very common that users would like to disable a certain device/port to release irq resource. a quick review of the basic irq mapping is given below for your reference. irq# description irq #0 system timer irq #1 keyboard event irq #2 usable irq irq #3 com2 irq #4 com1 irq #5 usable irq irq #6 diskette event irq #7 usable irq irq #8 real-time clock irq #9 usable irq irq #10 usable irq irq #11 usable irq irq #12 ibm mouse event irq #13 coprocessor error irq #14 hard disk event irq #15 usable irq it is then very easy to find out which irq resource is ready for additional peripherals. if irq resource is not enough, please di sable some devices listed above to release further irq numbers.
