Using Watchdog with Archlinux

Hi guys! I'm in an urgent need of your help!

Needless to say that I'm newbie with all this Archlinux stuff. I have the following question

I'm trying to use the hardware watchdog associated with the ICH8M chip on Archlinux. I have also installed what I believe for it to be a software watchdog using the command 'pacman -S watchdog'. Now when testing this piece of kit, it seems to be doing the job i.e. rebooting the machine if it can't ping the port server in my case. What worries me is that I cannot establish whether I'm using the hardware watchdog or the software, and if I'm using the software bit, how can I force the machine to use the hardware watchdog.

Many thanks
