smarty 0 Posted December 15, 2005 I have succesfully installed my new Geo 1240 card. Everything works, and I am now trying to optimize the system for long term reliability/durability. I have read the posts about removing/locking out certain Windows (XP) processes etc. Thanks! they were super. ANYWAY my question deals with how to connect the two-wire watchdog that comes with the Geo card to the motherboard. In my PC, the reset button (two-wire), the power light and the harddisk light wires (7 wires total) go to a 8 pin block connector that attaches to the motherboad. This 8 pin block connector prevents the access to the two pins I want to connect the Geo card to. Any ideas? If I just remove the 8 pin connector block and connect to the Geo card, my reset button, and lights will not be connected (which might be OK, but it is not optimal). Suggestions?

Jasper 0 Posted December 15, 2005 I asked this same question awhile back. I gave up on connecting mine. Too much hassle, unless you can easily access it. I didn’t connect it and it hasn’t hung up yet. You can enable the reboot feature through the software and have it reboot once every 24 hours. There is also an older thread that talks about this question. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCTVDude 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Although we hook it up every time, I also think that not connecting the WatchDog is no big deal. Is it possible to splice into the wires before they get to the terminal block? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
