Watch Dog Timer
The Watch Dog function is a monitor controlled by the JWD1 that can reboot the system
when a software application hangs. It must be enabled in BIOS, where the default is set to
Reset. In the case an application hangs, jumping pins 1-2 will cause Watch Dog to reset the
system while jumping pins 2-3 will generate a non-maskable interrupt signal.
