Product warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
one year from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been
repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized
by Advantech, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident
or improper installation. Advantech assumes no liability under the
terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If
an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you
will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service
time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-
screen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your
manual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us
to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for
warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

1.1 Introduction
The MIC-3376 is a 6U-sized CompactPCI® all-in-one single board
Pentium® III/IICPUcardwhich complies with PICMG 2.0R2.1Com-
pactPCI specifications. The MIC-3376 offers powerful functions on a
single board for performance-demanding applications like computer
telephony and communications.
The MIC-3376 offers a slot 1 socket and accepts an Intel Pentium® III/II
CPU to provide optimum computing power. Two PCI-to-PCI bridges
allow MIC-3376 to drive two independent CompactPCI bus segments
through J1/J2 and J4/J5 connectors.
On-board features include dual 100/10 Mbps fast Ethernet interfaces,
one 80 MB/s Ultra2 SCSI interface and one AGP VGA interface. The
built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus
master modes. Through the J3 connector on MIC-3376, two IDE
channels and one floppy drive interface are available on the transition
board or backplane. The on-board CompactFlash® socket accepts one
solid state memory card for diskless operation. The MIC-3376 also
supports standard serial and parallel ports, such as two USB ports,
twoRS-232ports,andonemulti-modeparallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port.
A backup of the CMOS data is stored in the flash memory, which
protects the BIOS configuration even after a battery failure. Also
included is a 63-level watchdog timer, which resets the CPU or
generates an interrupt if a program cannot be executed normally. This
enables reliable operation in unattended environments.
The MIC-3376 is available in four versions:
• MIC-3376:6UCompactPCIPentium III/II CPUboardwithsinglePCI-
to-PCI bridge
• MIC-3376S:6UCompactPCIPentium III/II CPU boardwithsingle
PCI-to-PCIbridgeandUltra2SCSIinterface
• MIC-3376D:6UCompactPCIPentium III/II CPUboardwithdualPCI-
to-PCI bridges
• MIC-3376F:6UCompactPCIPentium III/II CPUboardwithdualPCI-
to-PCI bridges and Ultra2 SCSI interface

1.9 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the
products from damage.
1. To avoid electric 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.
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 electric dis-
charges 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.
