3.5 WDT Function
The Watchdog Timer of motherboard consists of 8-bit programmable time-out
counter and a control and status register.
WDT Controller Register
There are two PNP I/O port addresses that can be used to configure WDT.
2Eh: EFIR (Extended Function Index Register, for identifying CR index number)
2Fh: EFDR (Extended Function Data Register, for accessing desired CR)
WDT Control Mode Register
GMB-C2165-LLVA User‟s Manual
24
Page 26
BIOS Setup Information
The working algorithm of the WDT function can be simply described as a counting
process. The Time-Out Interval can be set through software programming. The
availability of the time-out interval settings by software or hardware varies from
boards to boards.
GMB-C2165-LLVA allows users to control WDT through dynamic software
programming. The WDT starts counting when it is activated. It sends out a signal to
system reset or to non-maskable interrupt (NMI), when time-out interval ends. To
prevent the time-out interval from running out, a re-trigger signal will need to be
sent before the counting reaches its end. This action will restart the counting process.
A well-written WDT program should keep the counting process running under
normal condition. WDT should never generate a system reset or NMI signal unless
the system runs into troubles.
The related Control Registers of WDT are all included in the following sample
program that is written in C language. User can fill a non-zero value into the Timeout Value Register to enable/refresh WDT. System will be reset after the Time-out
Value to be counted down to zero. Or user can directly fill a zero value into Timeout Value Register to disable WDT immediately. To ensure a successful accessing to
the content of desired Control Register, the sequence of following program codes
should be step-by-step run again when each register is accessed.
Additionally, there are maximum 2 seconds of counting tolerance that should be
considered into user‟ application program. For more information about WDT, please
refer to ITE IT8783F data sheet.
There are two PNP I/O port addresses that can be used to configure WDT,
1) 0x2E:EFIR (Extended Function Index Register, for identifying CR index number)
2) 0x2F:EFDR (Extended Function Data Register, for accessing desired CR)

5. Troubleshooting
This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get GMB-C2165-LLVA running
with success. As basic hardware installation has been addressed in Chapter 2, this
chapter will focus on system integration issues, in terms of BIOS setting, and OS
diagnostics.
5.1 Hardware Quick Installation
ATX Power Setting
GMB-C2165-LLVA supports ATX. Therefore, there is no other setting that really
needs to be
set up. However, there are only two connectors that must be connected—J8 (4 pins
CPU +12V main power connector) & J34 (24 pins ATX Power Connector)

Serial ATA Hard Disk Setting for IDE/RAID/AHCI mode
Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at
a time; there are total five connectors, SATA1~5 port. The installation of Serial ATA
is simpler and easier than IDE, because SATA hard disk doesn‟t require setting up
Master and Slave, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation. All you need
to operate IDE, RAID (0/1/5/10) and AHCI application for system, please follow up
setting guide in BIOS setup utility
5.2 BIOS Setting
It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the
devices cables required before turning on ATX power. CPU, CPU Fan, 204-pin DDR3
memory, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, SATA hard disk, DVI connector, but it only
can use on DVI-D function, doesn‟t support DVI-I function, device power cables,
ATX accessories are good examples that deserve attention. With no assurance of

properly and correctly accommodating these modules and devices, it is very
possible
to encounter system failures that result in malfunction of any device.
To make sure that you have a successful start with GMB-C2165-LLVA , it is
recommended, when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit “DEL” key and enter
the BIOS setup menu to tune up a stable BIOS configuration so that you can wake up
your system far well.
Loading the default optimal setting
When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to “Load Optimal
Defaults”, press “Enter” and “Y” to load in default optimal BIOS setup. This will
force your BIOS setting back to the initial factory configuration. It is recommended
to do this so you can be sure the system is running with the BIOS setting that
CONTEC has highly endorsed. As a matter of fact, users can load the default BIOS
setting any time when system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence.
Improper disable operation
There are too many occasions where users disable a certain device/feature in one
application through BIOS setting. These variables may not be set back to the original
values when needed. These devices/features will certainly fail to be detected.
When the above conditions happen, it is strongly recommended to check the BIOS
settings. Make sure certain items are set as they should be. These include the COM1/
COM2 ports, USB ports, external cache, on-board VGA and Ethernet.
It is also very common that users would like to disable a certain device/port to
release IRQ resource. A few good examples are
Disable COM1 serial port to release IRQ #4
Disable COM2 serial port to release IRQ #3
Etc…
A quick review of the basic IRQ mapping is given below for your reference.
