involves one jumper and running the control software (refer to Appendix A).

2.22.1 Watchdog timer action (JP5)

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 JP5 as shown below:

2.23USB connectors (CN20, CN28)

The PCM-9575 board provides up to four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, with USB3 and USB4 optional. This gives complete Plug and Play, and hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification Rev. 1.1, and are fuse protected.

The USB interface is accessed through two 5 x 2-pin flat-cable connec- tors, CN20 (USB1, 2); and CN28 (USB3, 4). You will need an adapter cable if you use a standard USB connector. The adapter cable has a 5 x 2- pin connector on one end and a USB connector on the other.

The USB interfaces can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.
