Wdt Keepalive Register (Wkpa); Compactflash; Remote Ethernet Booting - GE V7865 Series Hardware Reference Manual

3.4.3 WDT Keepalive Register (WKPA)

When enabled, the Watchdog Timer is prevented from resetting the system by
writing to the WDT Keepalive Register (WKPA) located at offset 0x0C from the
address in BAR2 within the selected timeout period. The data written to this
location is irrelevant.

3.5 CompactFlash

The V7865 features an optional onboard CompactFlash mass storage system with
a capacity of up to 4 GByte. This CompactFlash appears to the user as an
intelligent ATA (IDE) disk drive with the same functionality and capabilities as a
"rotating media" IDE hard drive. The V7865 BIOS includes an option to allow the
board to boot from the CompactFlash.
The CompactFlash resides on the V7865 as an IDE bus primary device.

3.6 Remote Ethernet Booting

The V7865 is capable of booting from a server using the 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet
ports over a network utilizing the Intel Boot Agent. The Intel Boot Agent gives
you the ability to remotely boot the V7865 using the PXE protocol. The Ethernet
must be connected through one of the front panel (RJ45) connectors to boot
remotely. This feature allows users to create systems without the worry of disk
drive reliability, or the extra cost of adding CompactFlash drives. See Appendix C:
Remote Booting for setup details.
