General Information

MIC-3056 User Manual -- Page 2
1.1 Introduction
The MIC-3056 is a slim rugged 2U-high enclosure as a HA platform with four 6U
CompactPCI™ slots H.110 backplane for rack mounting. Being only 2U in height, the
MIC-3056 provides the space efficiency required in applications such as CT and
networking. Due to its limited spaces which occupied by redundant power supply,
the MIC-3056 can support one Media Blade (MIC-3960) as an option which can
accommodate slim line CDROM, FDD or 2.5” IDE hard disk. Please also see details
on MIC-3960 user manual for details. With its flexible module design, the cooling fan
and power supply can be hot swappable for easy maintenance. For those mission
critical applications in high manageability demands, MIC-3056 also serves with a
Chassis Management Module, the MIC-3924A, which is a stand-alone system
environment monitoring module, to provide more advance and intelligent system
status monitoring and controls. Based on over platform purpose, no driver is needed,
so user can do the management via the SNMP/HTTP protocol of network. Please see
the MIC-3924 user manual for more details.

2.1 Initial Inspection
We have carefully inspected the MIC-3056 mechanically and electrically before
shipping. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order upon
receipt.
As you unpack the MIC-3056, check it for signs of shipping damage (damaged box,
scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or fails to meet specifications, notify our
service department or your local representative immediately. Also notify the carrier.
Retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier. After
inspection, we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
Warning! We strongly recommend that only qualified, experienced personnel install
or remove components. They must exercise extreme caution when doing so.
2.2 The MIC-3056 Illustration
The MIC-3056 is designed to be installed and maintained easily.
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 illustrate important components on the front and rear side
of the enclosure.

2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Card Installation and Removal
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 system card can be installed only in the system slot. Do not insert the system
card into the other slot, or insert a peripheral card into the system slot. The system
slot is marked by a triangle enclosing the slot number. Please refer to chapter3 for
more details.
Note: Another easy way to distinguish the system slot is that the system slot uses
red guide rails while the peripheral slots use gray ones.
The insert/eject handles on CompactPCI™cards help users to install and remove the
cards easily and safely. Follow the procedures below to install a card into a chassis:
To install a card:
1. Hold the card horizontally. Be sure that the card is oriented correctly. The
components of the card should be pointing to the upper side.
2. Be sure that the handles of the card are not latched. Release the handles if they
are latched. Handles from different vendors may have different latch designs.
Caution: Keep your fingers away from the latch hinges to prevent your fingers from

MIC-3056 User Manual -- Page 9
getting pinched.
3. Insert the card into the chassis by sliding the both edges of the card into the card
guides.
4. Push the card into the slot gently by sliding the card along the card guide rails
until the handles meet the rectangular holes of the handle locker rails.
Note: If the card is correctly positioned and has been slide all the way into the
chassis, the handles 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. Left-pull the right handle and right-pull the left handle to push the card into place.
6. Secure the card by locking the handles into place.
Figure 2-3: Installing a card into the chassis
To remove a card:
1. Release the locking latches on the handles.
2. Push the both handles out to release the card from the backplane.
3. Slide the card out.
2.3.2 Before Operating the System.
Before operating your system, first check your power supply source.
The power supply module included in the MIC-3056 chassis accepts a full input
range of 100~240 V AC without any switch setting.
Two mounting flanges are included for users who would like to install the MIC-3056
on a 19" rack.

MIC-3056 User Manual -- Page 10
2.3.3 Installing Peripherals (MIC-3960)
The MIC-3960 can accommodate four types of storage devices, including 2.5" hard
disk, optional Compact Flash (up to 32MB), slim-type CD-ROM drive, and slim-type
FDD drive. Please refer to following table for the media combination availability.
2.5” HDD Slim CDROM Slim FDD Compact Flash
Type A 1 1 - 1
Type B 1 - 1 1
Type C 2 - - 1
Table 2-7 MIC-3960 recommended device bay configuration.
Note:
(1) MIC-3960 is only available on MIC-3038B/8-4R
(2) The factory default is Type A
2.3.4 Install a 2.5" Hard Disk Drive
To install 2.5" hard disk drives on the MIC-3960, user just needs to slide the HDD
into proper IDE connector and screw it up on the back side of the board.
Figure 2-4: Installing 2.5" hard disk drives and slim CDROM

MIC-3056 User Manual -- Page 11
2.3.5 Installing a Slim-type Floppy Disk or Slim-type CD-ROM Drives (on
MIC-3960):
The MIC-3960 supports up to four IDE devices on the two IDE channels
including IDE CD-ROM drives. But user only can have up to three IDE
devices (including CompactFlash) due to its space limitation. To install an
IDE slim type CDROM drive with the MIC-3960 you'll need:
· IDE CD-ROM drive
. Mounting bracket for slim type CDROM
. Several screws for bracket
.
The MIC-3960 does not supply a power cable to run a CD ROM drive or other
desktop style IDE device cause the power is provided via the connectors.
Steps for installing an IDE CD-ROM drive with the MIC-3960 are as follows:
1. Turn the power off to the card cage and remove the MIC-3960.
2. Mounting the IDE CD-ROM with bracket and screws on MIC-3960
3. Re-insert the MIC-3960 into the card cage.
4. Power up the card cage and the CD ROM.
2.3.6 Replacing the Hot-swap Fan and Air Filter
The MIC-3038 provides two hot-swap fans at both left and rear sides of the
MIC-3038. Please refer to Figure 2-1 and 2-2. Each fan can be individually replaced.
This can be done without turning off the system power or interrupting system
operation.
Follow these steps to replace a fan:
1. Unfasten the fan's holder.
2. Slide the fan's holder out.
3. Replace the old fan with a new one.
4. Slide the fan's holder in.
5. Fasten the new fan's holder.

MIC-3056 User Manual -- Page 12
Figure 2-5: Hot swappable fan maintenance
The air filter may become dirty after a period of time. Follow these steps to replace
a filter:
1. Remove the filter cover.
2. Replace the dirty filter with a clean one.
3. Reattach the filter cover.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 to replace other filters.
