2.20 Watchdog timer configuration
An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves one jumper and running the control software (refer to Appendix A).
2.20.1 Watchdog timer action (J2)
When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a halt), it can reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ11. This can be set via setting J2 as shown below:

2.21USB connectors (CN19)
The PCM-9570/S board provides two USB (Universal Serial Bus) interfaces which gives complete plug and play, hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification rev. 1.0 and are fuse protected.
The USB interfaces are accessed through two 4-pin flat-cable connectors, CN19. You will need an adapter cable if you use a standard USB connector. The adapter cable has a 4-pin connector on one end and an USB connector on the other.
The USB interfaces can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.
