1.1 Introduction  
The MIC-3318 is a 3U-sized CompactPCI all-in-one single board  
computer with Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M and compliance with the  
PICMG 2.0 R2.1 CompactPCI specifications. The MIC-3318 features a  
powerful onboard Intel Pentium 4 Processor–M 1.7 GHz CPU with low  
power dissipation. This CPU is designed for fanless operation and has  
a wide operating temperature range. The MIC-3318 offers very  
powerful functions on a 3U-sized board for performance-demanding  
applications like real-time machine control and industrial automation.  
The MIC-3318 has been optimized for the Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M  
and Intel 845GV Chipset. It unveils a high performance cPCI platform  
that delivers compelling system bus speed performance across the 400  
MHz Intel NetBurst Micro-Architecture. Innovative, wide data paths  
and flexible memory refresh technology, optimize the DDR SDRAM  
performance in MIC-3318.  
High Performance Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M  
The MIC-3318 supports the Intel Pentium 4 processor-M 1.7 GHz , with  
the µ-FCPGA package. The Intel Pentium 4 processor-M has on-chip  
512KB L2 cache providing high performance. With the support of a 400  
MHz front side bus, the MIC-3318 can fulfill customer’s expectations  
of price-performance and computing capability.  
Compact Mechanical Design  
The MIC-3318 has many functions for only 2-slots. Advantech  
provides a CPU heat sink specially designed for the Intel Pentium 4  
processor-M, enabling the MIC-3318 to operate without a cooling fan  
on the heat sink. It only needs external cooling air from the chassis  
fans for ventilation. This enables the MIC-3318 to use the powerful  
Intel Pentium 4 processor-M within a mere 2-slot wide space.

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.

your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative  
before you make any changes.

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.

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

2.1 IDE Device (2F-CN8, CN9)  
The MIC-3318 provides one IDE (Integrated Device Electronics)  
channel, but supports two secondary IDE devices via two connectors  
sepeartely, one is for one on-board 2.5" HDD and the other is for  
wiring out to the front panel to connect with external devices.  
If two drives are installed on one channel, remember to set one as the  
master and the other one as the slave. You may do this by setting the  
jumpers on the drives. Refer to the documentation that came with your  
drive for more information.Ajumper diagram usually appears on the  
topside of a hard disk drive.  
Warning: Plug the other end of the cable into the drive with pin #1 on  
the cable corresponding to pin #1 on the drive. Improper connection  
will damage the drive.

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:

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:

4.2.6 PNP/PCI Configuration Setup  
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or  
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to  
operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when commu-  
nicating with its own special components. This section covers some  
very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experi-  
enced make any changes to the default settings.

Programming the  
Watchdog Timer  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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  
2E(hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned register through  
data port 2F (hex).

interrupt or reset signal. Writing a new  
value to this register can reset the  
timer to count with the new value.
