SMB (I2C) Bus to PCI Slots

Jumpers JI2C1 and JI2C2 allow you to connect the System Management Bus (SMB) to the PCI-E PCI slot. The default setting is Disabled. See table on the right for jumper settings.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

Watch Dog (JWD) is a system monitor that can reboot the system when a software application hangs. Close pins 1~2 to reset the system if an applica- tion hangs. Close pins 2~3 to generate

anon-maskable interrupt signal for the application that hangs. See the table on the right for jumper settings. Watch Dog must also be enabled in the BIOS.
