X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V

Subnet Mask - Subnet masks tell the network which subnet this machine be- longs to. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.

Gateway Address - Enter the Gateway address this machine will use (i.e., 192.168.10.1).

MAC Address - The BIOS will automatically enter the MAC address of this machine, however it may be over-ridden. MAC addresses are 6 two-digit hexa- decimal numbers (Base 16, 0 ~ 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) separated by dots. (i.e., 00.30.48.D0.D4.60)

BMC Watch Dog Timer Action

Allows the BMC to reset or power down the system if the operating system hangs or crashes. The options are Disabled, Reset System, Power Down, Power Cycle.

BMC WatchDog TimeOut [Min:Sec]

This option appears if BMC Watch Dog Timer Action (above) is enabled. This is a timed delay in minutes or seconds, before a system power down or reset after an operating system failure is detected. The options are [5 Min], [1 Min], [30 Sec], and [10 Sec].
