1.6.3Reset Button
The reset button is used to perform hard reset for the MXE-1300.
1.6.4VGA Connector
The MXE-1300 provides one VGA connector for display on external (D-sub 15P) monitor.
1.6.5DVI-D Connector
The MXE-1300 provides one DVI-D connector for display on an
external (DVI-D) monitor.
The high impedance of long VGA/DVI cables negatively affects
video signal integrity at the receiver side.
NOTE:
NOTE:
It is recommended that VGA/DVI cables be less than 2
meters in length with effective shielding, such as UL
style 2919 AWM. If video transmission distance is to
exceed 10 meters, a VGA/DVI signal repeater or active
KVM may provide better results.
.
1.6.6USB 2.0 Connectors

USB connectors, with four ports on the front and two on the rear
panel. All are compatible with Hi-Speed, full-speed, and low-speed
USB devices. All USB ports share one EHCI controller, and two
USB ports share one UHCI controller. The MXE-1300 supports
multiple boot devices, including USB flash drive, USB external
hard drive, USB floppy, USB CD-ROM and etc. The boot priority
and boot device can be configured in BIOS setting.
1.6.7Compact-Flash Port
The MXE-1300 is equipped with a Type I Compact-Flash socket
on the front panel. The CF interface provides +3.3V voltage to the
CF card, is transferred from SATA by an ASIC, and can act as an
alternative storage device for system installation. The MXE-1300
can be booted up via a CF card with OS installed. When the CF

2.6Cooling Configuration
Heat-generating components of the MXE-1300 (such as CPU and
PCH) are all situated on the left side of the system. These components directly contact the heat sink via thermal pads and dissipate
heat generated by the components. To maximize efficiency of heat
dissipation, maintain a minimum of 2 inches (5 cm) clearance on
the top of the MXE-1300.

2. Insert the ADLINK All-in-One DVD. The audio driver is
located in the directory
x:\Driver Installation\Matrix\MXE-1300\Audio\
where x: denotes the DVD-ROM drive.
3. Execute Setup.exe and follow onscreen instructions to
complete the setup.
4. After installation is complete, reboot the system.
3.5Installing the WDT and DI/O drivers
A WDT (watchdog timer) is a hardware mechanism resetting the
system when the operating system or application is halted. A typical usage of WDT is to start the timers and periodically reset the
timer, and when timer is expired, the system resets. The WDT
driver must be installed to program the WDT.
The MXE-1300 also provides 4 channel DI and 4 channel DO.
WDT and DI/O Driver/ API driver packages must be installed to
access and use the DI/O feature.
To install the WDT and DI/O drivers for the MXE-1300:
Close any running applications.
Ensure you have Administrator privilege.
Download Microsoft
x86 or x64 version from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387

Insert the ADLINK All-in-One DVD. The WDT driver is located in
the directory:
x:\Driver Installation\Matrix\MXE-1300\WDT_DI/O\
where x denotes the DVD-ROM drive.
Run Setup.exe and follow the onscreen instructions to complete
setup.
After complete installation, reboot the system.
WDT, DI/O API library and sample programs are located in the
MXE1300_WDT folder, default location of “C:\Program
Files\ADLINK\MXE1300_WDT”
Administrator privilege is required to use the WDT API in
Windows 7.

Appendix A: Watchdog Timer (WDT) &
DI/O Function Libraries
This appendix describes use of the watchdog timer (WDT) function library for the MXE-1300.
The watchdog timer is a hardware mechanism provided to reset
the system if the operating system or an application stalls. After
starting, the watchdog timer in the application must be periodically
reset before the timer expires. Once the watchdog timer expires, a
hardware-generated signal is sent to reset the system.
DI/O provides input/output to support inter-device communications. Simple programming guides allow easy transmission of digital signals between the system and attached peripherals.
A.1 WDT with API/Windows
Matrix WDT API library files and a demo program (incl. source
code) can be found on the included driver CD or downloaded from
http://www.adlinktech.com.
To use the WDT function library for MXE-1300 series, include the
header file WDT.h and linkage library WDT.lib in the C++ project.
InitWDT
Initializes watchdog timer function of MXE-1300. InitWDT must
be called before the invocation of any other WDT function.
@ Syntax
C/C++
BOOL InitWDT()
@ Parameters
None
@ Return code
TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully initialized.
FALSE if watchdog timer fails to initialize.
Watchdog Timer (WDT) & DI/O Function Libraries 43
Page 56
SetWDT
Sets the timeout value of the watchdog timer. There are two
parameters for this function to indicate the timeout ticks and
unit. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of watchdog timer, or the system will reset.
@ Syntax
C/C++
BOOL SetWDT(BYTE tick, BYTE unit)
@ Parameters
tick
Specify the number of ticks for watchdog timer. A valid value
is 1 - 255.
unit
Specify the timeout ticks of the watchdog timer.
ValueDescription
The unit for one tick is one second. For example, when one
0
tick is specified as 100 and the unit as 0, the timeout value is
100 seconds.
The unit for one tick is one minute. For example, whenone
1
tick is specified as 100 and the unit as 1, the timeout value is
100 minutes.
@ Return codes
TRUE if timeout value of watchdog timer is successfully set.
FALSE if timeout value of watchdog timer is failed to set.
StartWDT
Starts watchdog timer function. Once the StartWDT is invoked,
the watchdog timer starts. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be
called before the expiration of watchdog timer, or the system
will reset.
@ Syntax
C/C++
BOOL StartWDT()
44Watchdog Timer (WDT) & DI/O Function Librarie s
Page 57
@ Parameters
None
@ Return codes
TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully started.
FALSE if watchdog timer is failed to start.
ResetWDT
Resets the watchdog timer. The invocation of ResetWDT
allows restoration of the watchdog timer to the initial timeout
value specified in SetWDT function. ResetWDT or StopWDT
should be called before the expiration of the watchdog timer, or
the system will reset.
@ Syntax
C/C++
BOOL ResetWDT()
@ Parameters
None
@ Return codes
MXE-1300
TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully reset.
FALSE if watchdog timer fails to reset.
StopWDT
Stops the watchdog timer.
@ Syntax
C/C++
BOOL StopWDT()
@ Parameters
None
@ Return codes
TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully stopped.
Watchdog Timer (WDT) & DI/O Function Libraries 45
