Reset and Interrupt Switches and Headers
Three push-button switches are provided so the user can generate RESET, SMI,
and NMI events. In addition, a two-pin header is provided for the RESET signal
so that an external pushbutton switch can be attached. These switches and headers
are routed to the appropriate chipset signals as listed in Table 2-10.
Table 2-10. Switch Summary
Embedded BIOS software typically enters its debugging monitor when an NMI
event is generated. In addition to pressing the NMI switch, an NMI event can be
caused by a PCI-bus parity error, a DRAM parity error, or an ISA-bus IOCHCK
error.
