4.1 Installation of Supplied Components
Perform these steps to install the Watchdog:
•
Locate an unused I/O slot in the PC. Remove the blank bracket and install the Watchdog.
•
Make sure the Dip switches are set properly before applying power to the Watchdog since it only
checks the switches at power up and after each reset of the PC.
•
Disconnect the PC reset cable from the motherboard. Plug this cable onto the
J1
(
J5
on Rev-B)
header labeled
Reset SW
in the upper left corner of the Watchdog board.
•
Plug the supplied reset cable onto
J2
(
J4
on Rev-B) labeled
CPU Reset
on the Watchdog board and
plug the other end onto the original reset header on the motherboard.
•
Connect the External type USB cable to Host port on the PC or a port on a hub. Connect the other
end of the cable to the Watchdog. We recommend connecting to a primary port on the PC rather
than using a hub. That way you do not have to worry about the hub powering down or going into
sleep mode.

If you have an
internal cable
then see next section
