Warnings

Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules, contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements.

Cautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the described procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Safety Information

Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

Read all instructions carefully.

▪

Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand. ▪ Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual. ▪ When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts ▪

specified by the manufacturer. Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating

▪

device. The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the

▪

rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly necessary in order to provide balance stability.

The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.

▪

There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

A Philips screwdriver• A flat-tipped screwdriver• A grounding strap• An anti-static pad•

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-• mended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Before working on internal components, make sure that the power

•

is off. Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the elec-

tronic components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.

Precautions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.

Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:

Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are

•

working inside the case.

If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside

•

the computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.

Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the com-

•

ponents on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress the circuit board.

Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they

•

shipped with until they are ready for installation.

Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.

Jumper Settings

A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper is open.

Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).

WINBOND W83627UHG LPC I/O supports the Watchdog Timer functionality.

1. To place the chip into the Extended Function Mode, two successive writes of 0x87 must be applied to Extended Function Enable Registers (EFERs, 4Eh).

2. The chip selects the Logical Device and activates the desired Logical Devices through Extended Function Index Register (EFIR) and Extended Function Data Register (EFDR). The EFIR is located at the same address as the EFER, and the EFDR is located at address (EFIR+1).

First, write the Logical Device Number (i.e. 0x07) to the EFIR and then

write the number of the desired Logical Device to the EFDR. If accessing the Chip (Global) Control Registers, this step is not required.

Secondly, write the address of the desired configuration register within

the Logical Device to the EFIR and then write (or read) the desired configuration register through the EFDR (i.e. 0x08).

Writing any nonzero value to this register causes the counter to load this value into the Watchdog Timer counter and start counting down.
