1.1 Introduction
TheMIC-3355 isa 6U-sizedCompactPCI™, all-in-onesingleboard
Pentium®processor-based CPU card which complies with PICMG 2.0
R2.1 CompactPCI specifications. The MIC-3355 offers all the functions
of an industrial computer on a single board CPU card. This card
supports an Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX, AMD K5, AMD K6, Cyrix
M1 or Cyrix M2 processor. The card accepts up to 256 MB SDRAM. It
also supports on-board 512 KB PB-SRAM 2nd level cache.
The MIC-3355 uses a single-chip solution, allowing on-board DRAM
to be shared with the built-in VGA controller. In this configuration, the
chipset always acts as the arbiter between memory bus masters. This
system ensures efficient memory allocation while substantially
reducing the overall system cost.
On-boardfeatures include512 KB2nd level cachememory,100/10
Mbpsfast Ethernetinterface, oneRS-232 port,one RS-232/422/485
port,one multi-modeparallel (ECP/EPP/SPP)port, afloppy drive
controller and a keyboard and PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high
speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus master modes.
Two IDE channels are available through the J3 connector and one
channel is available through the on-board connector. Up to two IDE
devices can be connected to one channel, including large hard disks,
CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE devices. The MIC-
3355 also supports two USB ports and one fast infrared port.
TheMIC-3355 alsofeatures powermanagement tominimize power
consumption. It complies with the "Green Function" standard and
supports three types of power saving features: Doze mode, Standby
mode and Suspend mode. A watchdog timer can automatically reset
the system or generate an interrupt should the system stop due to a
program bug or EMI.

1.4 Jumpers and Connectors
On-board connectors link it to external devices such as hard disk
drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has jumpers
for configuring your board for specific applications.
The table below lists the function of each of the board's jumpers and
connectors. Later sections in this chapter give instructions on setting
jumpers and detailed information on each jumper setting. Chapter 2
gives instructions for connecting external devices to your card.

1.7 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and
yourPC fromdamage.
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.

12 MIC-3355 User's Manual
1.8 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 4) 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. A jumper 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.
You may find a pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative
before you make any changes.
