2.2 Power Requirements

In order to guarantee stable operation of the system, it is recom­mended that significantly more power be provided than required.
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.

6.1 Watchdog Timer

This section describes the operation of the CT-31’s watchdog timer (WDT). The primary function of the WDT is to monitor the CT-31'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 CT-31 custom WDT circuit is implemented using the internal I/ O of the ITE SuperIO IT8783 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 second or minute
to maximum 65635 seconds or minutes
X Sending a RESET signal to the system when the watchdog
times out
CT-31

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 section. This can be controlled through the registers in the CT-31's SuperIO.
An application using the reset fe ature enab les the watch dog func ­tion, 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\CT-31\WDT.

BIOS Setup 37

Setup Menu

The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navi­gate. Each main BIOS setup menu option is described in this user’s guide.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. “Grayed” options cannot be configured, “Blue” options can be.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.

Navigation

The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.
These keys include < F1 >, < F10 >, < Enter >, < ESC >, < Arrow > keys, and so on. .
38 BIOS Setup
CT-31
Note: There is a hot key legend located in the r ight frame on most
setup screens.
The < F8 > key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not dis­played on the key legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings of the BIOS, press the < F8 > key on your keyboard. It is located on the upper row of a standard 101 keyboard. The Fail-Safe set­tings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of options set. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings.

Max CPUID Value Limit
When the computer is booted up, the operating system exe­cutes the CPUID instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must first query the proces­sor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognized. This determines the kind of basic information CPUID can provide the operating system. This option allows you to circumvent problems with older operating systems.
When Enabled, the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried, even if the processor sup-
BIOS Setup 43
ports a higher CPUID input value. When Disabled, the proces­sor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried.
Execute-Disable Bit Capability
Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent cer­tain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when com­bined with a supporting operating system. Exec ute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where appli­cation code can execute and where it cannot. When a mali­cious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propa­gation.
