1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (J2)

The PCA-6275 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or send a signal to IRQ11 in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCA-6275 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The J2 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.

1.8.4 CMOS clear (J4)

The PCA-6275 CPU card contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normal- ly this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J4 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.
