Watch Dog Enable/Disable

JP8 enables the Watch Dog function, a system monitor that takes action when a software application freezes the system. Jumping pins 1-2 will have WD reboot the system if a pro- gram freezes. Jumping pins 2-3 will generate a non-maskable interrupt for the program that has frozen. See the table on the right for jumper set- tings. Watch Dog must also be en- abled in BIOS.
