Note: A total of 128 base address settings are available. The switches are a binary representation of the decimal memory addresses. SW1/7 is the Most Significant Bit and switch SW1/1 is the Least Significant Bit. The switches have the following decimal values: SW1/7=512, SW1/6=256, SW1/5=128, SW1/4=64, SW1/3=32, SW1/2=16, SW1/1=8. Turn off the switches and add the values of the switches to obtain the correct memory address. (Off=1, On=0) |
MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTES |
To enable the ATR version of the watchdog timer card to reboot the main board, they must be connected. The mother board reset connector on the watchdog timer card can be connected to the reset pins on the main board or the reset button connector of the watchdog timer card can be connected to the jumper wires of the main board’s reset switch. |
