General Information
The NuPRO-630 is a bus-100MHz ALi®BX-Level chipset design PICMG bus
Pentium®II Industrial Single Board (I.S.B.) CPU card with features combine together
to make it an ideal all-in-one industrial single board computer, enhanced I/O effects
with VGA interface on-board.
The NuPRO-630 also provides one set of PC/104 bus for 8/16-bit industrial
application with based on PC/104 standard bus.
Withonboard DMA33of mode4 toIDE driveinterface architecture,the NuPRO-630
supports with maximum 33.3 MB/sec in data transfer rating to 4 pieces IDE drive
connection.DesignwithALi™M1621BX-Level core logic chipset supports all series
Pentium®II operating at 233MHz, 266MHz, 300MHz, 333MHz, 400MHz and
450MHz.Theon-boardS3®86C375VGA chipset supports up to 1280 x 1024 256
colors display resolution. And it also provides one extra 10-pin connector for
internal VGA connection.
The advanced PICMG bus add-on connection of NuPRO-630 allows user could easily
obtainbothISA's16-bitandPCI's32-bit full set signals from a full size PICMG slot for
suitable plug into system with 8/16/32-bit ISA and-or PCI slots operating. The
NuPRO-630 provides with three pieces 168-pin DIMM sockets support up to
1.5GBytes of main system memory.
A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, and you can easy update the Flash BIOS by
theUtilityUpdate. Advanced USBandIRports also provideforfasterand easily indata
transmission. You can also use the DOS version of the "DiskOnChip" socket by
issuing commands from the DOS prompt without the necessity of other software
supports up to 72MB.
If a non-expect program cause halts, the onboard watchdog timer will automatically
reset the CPU or generate an interrupt. The watchdog is designed with hardware only
and doesn’t need any arithmetical functions of a real -time clock chip. This ensures the
reliability in an unmanned or standalone system.

2.12 Watch-Dog Timer
TherearethreeaccesscyclesofWatch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh and Disable.
The Enable cycle should proceed by READ PORT 443H. The Disable cycle
should proceed by READ PORT 043H. A continue Enable cycle after a first
Enable cycle means Refresh.
Once if the Enable cycle activity, a Refresh cycle is request before the time-out
period for restart counting the WDT Timer's period. Otherwise, it will assume
thattheprogram operationisabnormal when thetimecounting over theperiod
preset of WDT Timer. A System Reset signal to start again or a NMI cycle to the
CPU comes if over.
The JP5 is using for select the active function of watch-dog timer in disable the

The Watch-dog timer is disabled after the system Power-On. The watch-dog
timer can be enabled by a Enable cycle with reading the control port (443H), a
Refresh cycle with reading the control port (443H) and a Disable cycle by reading
theWatch-dog timer disable control port (043H). After a Enable cycle of WDT,
user must constantly proceed a Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting
comes ending of every 1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 120 seconds which pre-setting by JP6.

Hardware Installation 2-9
If the Refresh cycle does not active before WDT period cycle, the on board WDT
architecture will issue a Reset or NMI cycle to the system.
The Watch-Dog Timer iscontrolled by two I/O ports.
443H I/O Read The Enable cycle.
443H I/O Read The Refresh cycle.
043H I/O Read The Disable cycle.
