MI-965
Hardware monitoring
A built-in, proactive hardware monitoring system in the ASIC mon-
itors the CPU temperature, system fan rotations, and voltage lev-
els to prevent overheating and/or component damage, effect
timely failure detection, and ensure stable supply of current for
critical motherboard components.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on
user-defined configurations. The WDT can be programmed for dif-
ferent time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to
255 minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset
request, after failure to strobe it within the programmed time
period. A register bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog
timer caused the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during
the power-on sequence to enable the operating system to take
appropriate action when the watchdog generates a reboot.
Software
The MI-965 is compatible with all major operating systems.
ADLINK provides additional drivers for ADLINK peripherals. Hard-
ware and software drivers may be found on the Driver CD.
