Hardware Monitoring - SEMA

a Board Management Controller and communicates with the
CPU/chipset through the SMBus. The following information is pro-
vided under System Management:
X

X SMC Flags
A graphical user interface program called SEMAGui and com-
mand line tool called SEMA Tool are available to allow you to
communicate with SEMA. Please refer to the SEMA Software and
Technical Manuals, available for download on the product page.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on
user-defined configurations. The WDT can be programmed for dif-
ferent time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to
255 minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset
request, after failure to strobe it within the programmed time
period. A register bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog
timer caused the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during
the power-on sequence to enable the operating system to take
appropriate action when the watchdog generates a reboot.
