1.2 Watchdog Installation for GV-600 / GV-650 / GV-750 / GV-800
The Watchdog is a mechan ism that is used to determine whether another mechanism is alive o r not.
In other words, if for some reason a system is down or "hang up", watchdog will automatically reboot
the PC. The watchdog will restart the computer automatically if it did not receive any response
from the system for more than 5 minutes.
The GV-Serie s video capture card ha s two unit s of reset button pin located in the lower right corner
area. One set should be connected to the motherboard’s reset jumper and the other to the PC’s
reset switch (please see illustration below). Your motherboards’ RST pin position might be
different from the illustration below. Please refer to your motherboard user’s manual for the actual
position.
