This board has watchdog timer function for monitoring whether the system is
still work or not after a period of time. The user can select watchdog timer
to system reset or NMI (Non Maskable interrupt) depending on the jumper
set in “Reset/NMI/Clear Watchdog Selection” found in chapter 2. This is
defined at I/O port
443H . When you want to enable the watchdog timer,
please write I/O port 443H , and then the system will either reset itself or
perform the NMI function. Likewise, when you want to disable the function,
write I/O port
441H , the system will run the command to stop the Watchdog
function.

writes I/O port address 443 for enable watchdog and write I/O port address
441 for disable watchdog. The timer

s intervals have a tolerance of 25% so
