1.5 Jumper Settings
1.5.1 Assembling / Disassembling MIC-3318
Since MIC-3318 is composed of one main board and one daughter
board, for ease of understanding and a convenient naming, we will use
1F (means 1st floor) to represent the main board, and 2F (means 2nd
floor) to represent the daughter board hereafter in this manual. Before
setting the jumpers, you need to disassemble the MIC-3318 to access
the component side of 1F. Figure 1-3 shows how MIC-3318 is disas-
sembled/assembled.

1.5.3 Jumper Settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper.
After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also need to run
the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 6) to configure the
serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and system
operating parameters. Connections, such as hard disk cables, appear in
Chapter 2.
For the locations of each jumper, see the board layout diagram
depicted earlier in this chapter.
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. Ajumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal cap (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a
jumper you connect the pins with the cap. To "open" a jumper you
remove the cap. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2
and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

1.5.4 CompactFlash master/slave selection(1F-JP5,
pin 1,2)
This jumper is used to set the CompactFlash card to be IDE master or
slave. The CompactFlash socket is connected to the primary IDE
channel. If a CompactFlash card and an IDE drive are connected to the
primary IDE channel at the same time, we recommend to set the
CompactFlash card as master and the other IDE drive as slave.
Otherwise, the MIC-3318 may not be able to detect the CompactFlash
correctly.

1.8 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the
products from damage.
1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your
PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on
the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The
sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may
damage sensitive electronic components.
1 4
MIC-3318 User's Manual
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before you
touch your CPU card. Be particularly careful not to touch the chip
connectors. Modern integrated electronic devices, especially CPUs
and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to static electrical
discharges and fields. Keep the card in its antistatic packaging
when it is not installed in the PC, and place it on a static dissipative
mat when you are working with it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for
continuous protection.
1.9 Installing SDRAM (SODIMMs)
The MIC-3318 provides one 200-pin SODIMM socket, which is on the
component side of 1F. The socket accepts 128, 256 or 512 MB DDR.
The socket can be filled with DIMMs of any size, giving a total
memory capacity between 128 and 512 MB.
The procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow
these steps carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off.
2. Install the SODIMM module. Install the SODIMM so that its gold
pins point down into the SODIMM socket.
3. Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and carefully
fit the bottom of the module against the connectors.
4. Gently push the SODIMM toward the board until the SODIMM is
parallel to the CPU card, and the clips on the ends of the SODIMM
sockets snap into place.
5. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all
connector contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around
in its socket.
NOTE: The SODIMM modules can only fit into sockets one
way, in accordance with the keyed notches along
the bottom edge of the modules. Their gold pins
must point down into the SODIMM socket.

2.5 Serial Ports (2F-CN3, CN5, CN4, CN6)
The MIC-3318 offers two serial ports: both support RS-232/422/485
modes (jumper selectable) via two DB-9 connectors seperately. These
ports allow users to connect to serial devices or a communication
network.
You can select the address for each port to disable it, using the BIOS
Advanced Setup program, covered in Chapter 4. Different devices
implement the RS-232/422/485 standard in different ways. If you are
having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assign-
ments for the connector. The IRQ and address range for both ports are
fixed. However, if you wish to disable the port or change these
parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup. The table
below shows the settings for the MIC-3318 board's ports:

2.8 Card Installation
The CompactPCI connectors are firm and rigid, and require careful
handling while plugging and unplugging. Improper installation of a
card can easily damage the backplane of the chassis.
The inject/eject handle of MIC-3318 helps you install and remove the
card easily and safely. Follow the procedure below to install the MIC-
3318 into a chassis:
To install a card:
1. Hold the card vertically. Be sure that the card is pointing in the
correct direction. The components of the card should be pointing
to the right-hand side.
2. Holding the lower handle, pull out the red portion in the middle of
the handle to unlock it.
Caution: Keep your fingers away from the hinge to prevent
them from getting pinched.
3. Insert the card into the chassis by sliding the upper and lower
edges of the card into the card guide.
4. Push the card into the slot gently by sliding the card along the card
guide until the handles meet the rectangular holes of the cross rails.
Note:
If the card is correctly positioned and has been slid
all the way into the chassis, the handle should match
the rectangular holes. If not, remove the card from
the card guide and repeat step 3 again. Do not try to
install a card by forcing it into the chassis.
5. Lift the lower handle up to push the card into place.
To remove a card:
1. Unscrew the four screws on the front panel.
2. Press the lower handle down to release the card from the backplane.

3.1 Overview
Advantech provides a CD-ROM with utilities and drivers included.
Please install the Chipset INF driver, VGAgraphics driver, LAN driver,
IntelApplicationAccelerator (IAA) driver, Watchdog Timer (WDT)
driver and the hardware monitoring utility (WinBond HWDoct)
sequentially.
The Intel Application Accelerator is a performance boosting software
package for Intel chipsets. It reduces the storage sub-system bottle-
neck, enabling faster delivery of data from the hard drive to the
processor and other system level hardware. Meanwhile, it enables a
performance-enhancing data pre-fetcher for Intel Pentium 4 and
Pentium M processor-based systems. In addition, it delivers faster
overall system boot times by significantly accelerating the load time
of the OS, which enables you to build Pentium 4 and Pentium M
processor-based systems with a better overall end-user experience.
IAAsupports 48-bit Logical BlockAddressing (48-bit LBA) for 137
GB and larger hard drives. Furthermore, IAAenablesAutomatic
Selection of Highest DMA Transfer Mode by the ATA/ATAPI device/
Intel chipset.
This chapter will list the utilities and drivers for MIC-3318, and make a
brief introduction for two of them: the USB driver and the Watchdog
Timer utility.

A.1 Overview
The MIC-3318's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system
software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to
function after the programmed period. This section describes the
operation of the watchdog timer and how to program it.
The watchdog timer is built-in the super I/O controller W83627HF. It
provides the following functions for user programming:
• Can be enabled and disabled by user's program.
• Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes.
• Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset
the timer after time-out.
A.2 Programming the Watchdog Timer
The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E(hex) and 2F(hex), 2E
(hex) is the address port. 2F(hex) is the data port. You must first assign
the address of register by writing address value into address port
