8.3Watchdog Timer
The SYS-405 features an advanced watchdog timer (WDT) that can be used to guard
against software lockups. The timer is programmable from 1 second to 255 minutes.
NOTE Use a long timeout if the watchdog is enabled when trying to boot any operating
system.
The watchdog can be enabled, disabled, or reset by writing the appropriate values to the
configuration registers. The WDT is part of the embedded controller, which uses the
following command sequence:
CMD Register:0x66
Read Command:0x80
Write Command:0x81
Sync Command:0x82
DATA Register:0x62
v1.0www.winsystems.comPage 10
SYS-405/Configuration
The watchdog timer initialization requires that the CMD register be cleared and then
configured to write the command, and then the data written. Example code for C and
Basic are provided following the tables.
The bootable SATA (2.0) interface is located at J3. WinSystems offers CBL-SATA-70120 for this connector.

Appendix A. Best Practices
This section outlines the best practices for operating the SYS-405 in a safe and effective
manner that does not damage the board. Please read this section carefully.
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)—Only handle the circuit board and other bare
electronics when electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is in place. Having a wrist
strap and a fully grounded workstation is the minimum ESD protection required
before the ESD seal on the product bag is broken.
Power Supply
Power Supply Budget
Evaluate your power supply budget. It is usually good practice to budget twice the
typical power requirement for all of your devices.
Zero-Load Power Supply
SYS-405/Best Practices
Use a zero-load power supply whenever possible. A zero-load power supply does not
require a minimum power load to regulate. If a zero-load power supply is not
appropriate for your application, then verify that the single board computer’s typical
load is not lower than the power supply’s minimum load. If the single board computer
does not draw enough power to meet the power supply’s minimum load, then the power
supply will not regulate properly and can cause damage to the SYS-405.
Use Proper Power Connections (Voltage)—When verifying the voltage, measure it
at the power connector on the SYS-405. Measuring it at the power supply does not
account for voltage drop through the wire and connectors.
Power the SYS-405 using Power over Ethernet (J16 RJ45, PoE IEEE802.3) or
Auxiliary Input (J17, +10 V DC to + 50 V DC). Verify the power connections. Incorrect
voltages can cause catastrophic damage.
Power Harness
Minimize the length of the power harness. This will reduce the amount of voltage drop
between the power supply and the SYS-405.
Gauge Wire
Use the largest gauge wire available for your application and connector. Most connector
manufacturers have a maximum gauge wire they recommend for their pins.
Contact Points
For maximum reliability, WinSystems’ boards typically use connectors with gold finish
contacts. It is critical that the contact material in the mating connectors is matched
properly (gold to gold and tin to tin). Contact areas made with dissimilar metals can
cause oxidation/corrosion, resulting in unreliable connections.
v1.0www.winsystems.comPage 50
SYS-405/Best Practices
Pin Contacts
Often the pin contacts used in cabling are not given enough attention. The ideal choice
for a pin contact uses a design similar to Molex’s or Trifurcon’s design that provides
three distinct points to maximize the contact area and improve connection integrity in
high shock and vibration applications.
Power Down
Make sure that power has been removed from the system before making or breaking
any connections.
Power Supply OFF—The power supply should always be off before it is connected to
the I/O Module. Do not hot-plug the SYS-405 on a host platform that is already
powered.
I/O Connections OFF—I/O Connections should also be off before connecting them to
the embedded computer modules or any I/O cards. Connecting hot signals can cause
damage whether the embedded system is powered or not.
Conformal Coating
Applying conformal coating to a WinSystems product will not in itself void the product
warranty, if it is properly removed prior to return. Coating may change thermal
characteristics and impedes our ability to test, diagnose, and repair products. Any
coated product sent to WinSystems for repair will be returned at customer expense and
no service will be performed.
Operations/Product Manuals
Every single board computer has an Operations manual or Product manual.
Periodic Updates—Operations/Product manuals are updated often. Periodically check
the WinSystems website (http://www.winsystems.com
Check Pinouts—Always check the pinout and connector locations in the manual before
plugging in a cable. Many I/O modules will have identical headers for different functions
and plugging a cable into the wrong header can have disastrous results.
Contact an Applications Engineer—If a diagram or chart in a manual does not seem to
match your board, or if you have additional questions, contact a WinSystems
Applications Engineer at: +1-817-274-7553.
