2.2 Setting the Jumpers
Configure your SI-623-N by using jumpers to enable the features that you need
based on your applications. Contact your supplier if you have doubts about the
best configuration for your use.
2.2.1 How to Set Jumpers
Jumpers are short-length conductors consisting of several metal pins with a
base mounted on the circuit board. Jumper caps are placed (or removed) on
the pins to enable or disable functions or features. If a jumper has 3 pins, you
can connect Pin 1 with Pin 2 or Pin 2 with Pin 3 by shorting the jumper.

support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel
ports. It also provides password protection as well as special support for
detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
4.2 BIOS Setup
The BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup
utility. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS is immediately activated.
Press the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you
are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will
continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup.
If you still need to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset”
button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.
You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again.
The following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the
<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help, and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the BIOS Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions
and exit choices.
Warning: It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any changes to
the chipset defaults.
These defaults have been carefully chosen by both AMI and your
system manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum
performance and reliability. Changing the defaults could make the
system unstable and crash in some cases.

C. Watchdog Timer Configuration
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is used to generate a variety of output signals
after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for the use in the
prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a
deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and
the selected outputs will be driven.
Under normal circumstance, you will need to restart the WDT at regular
intervals before the timer counts to zero.
