Dual Function Power Button
Dual Function Power Button allows two distinct OFF modes. In
Sleep mode, a PC powers down but not off. In Soft-Off, a PC shuts
down but requires a reboot to "awaken" it. “Soft-Off By PWR-
BTTN” in the Power Management Setup of the Award BIOS allows
you to select the method of powering off your system.
Watchdog Timer
The system board is designed for Industrial PC applications. It
supports the Watchdog Timer function allowing your application to
regularly “clear” the system at the set time interval. If the system
hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so
that your system will continue to operate. Refer to “Watchdog
Timer” in the Chipset Features Setup of the Award BIOS.
