Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is rec-
ommended to provide more power than the system requires. An
industrial power supply unit should be able to provide at least
twice as much power as the entire system requires of each
voltage. An ATX power supply unit should be able to provide at
least three times as much power as the entire system requires of
each voltage.
The tolerance of the voltage lines described in the CompactPCI
specification (PICMG 2.0 R3.0) is +5%/-3% for 5, 3.3 V and ±5%
for ±12V. This specification is for power delivered to each slot and
it includes both the power supply and the backplane tolerance.

7.1Watchdog Timer
This section describes the operation of the cPCI-3965’s watchdog
timer (WDT). The primary function of the WDT is to monitor the
cPCI-3965's operation and to reset the system if a software application fails to function as programmed. The following WDT functions may be controlled using a software application:
X enabling and disabling
X reloading timeout value
The cPCI-3965 custom WDT circuit is implemented using the
internal I/O of the ITE SuperIO IT8712F which is at 2Eh of LPC.
The basic functions of the WDT include:
X Starting the timer countdown
X Enabling or disabling WDT
X Enabling or disabling WDT countdown LED ON
X Reloading the timeout value to keep the watchdog from tim-
ing out
X Setting the range of the timeout period from 1 to 15300 seconds
X Sending a RESET signal to the system when the watchdog
times out
cPCI-3965
Using the Watchdog in an Application
The following section describes using the WDT functions in an
application. The WDT reset function is explained in the previous

An application using the reset feature enables the watchdog function, sets the count-down period, and reloads the timeout value
periodically to keep it from resetting the system. If the timer countdown value is not reloaded, the watchdog resets the system hardware after its counter reaches zero.
For a detailed programming sample, refer to the sample code provided in the ADLINK All-In-One CD. You can find it in the following
directory: X:\cPCI\cPCI-3965\WDT.

Sample Code
The sample program written in C shown below offers an interactive way to test the Watchdog Timer under DOS.
The cPCI-3965 Series supports the Intel® Preboot Execution
Environment (PXE) that is capable of booting up or executing an
OS installation through an Ethernet ports. To use PXE, there must
be a DHCP server on the network with one or more servers running PXE and MTFTP services. It could be a Windows® 2003
server running DHCP, PXE, and MTFTP services or a dedicated
DHCP server with one or more additional servers running PXE
and MTFTP services.
To build a network environment with PXE support:
1. Setup a DHCP server with PXE tag configuration
2. Install the PXE and MTFTP services
3. Make a boot image file on the PXE server (i.e. the boot server)
4. Enable the PXE boot function on the client computer
