Introduction ® Advantech MIC-3329 Series uses the latest Intel 22 nm Atom™ technology to pro- vide significant performance and power efficiencies. ® MIC-3329 series are 3U CompactPCI processor blades, with dual-quad E3826/ E3827 and quad-core E3845 Atom™ SOC processors, with up to 4GB soldered DDR3L-1333 ECC memory.
Specifications 1.2.1 CompactPCI Bus Interface The MIC-3329 is compliant with PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0. It supports a 32-bit / 33 MHz PCI bus for up to 8 CompactPCI slots. The MIC-3329 is hot-swap compliant (PICMG 2.1). The board can be configured as a system master or a drone board. In drone mode, it only draws power from the CompactPCI backplane and is not active on the Compact-PCI bus.
1.2.7 Serial Interface Four serial ports from LPC UART controller, two DB9 COM1/COM2 ports (RS-232/ 422 interface) are provided on the front panel. Another two COM ports (RS-232/422/ 485 interface) are routed to the rear I/O module as a DB9 port via the J2 connector. 1.2.8 USB Port Three USB 2.0 compliant ports are provided.
3U/2 slot width (Rear Board 8HP): 0.4 kg (bare board) 1.2.13 CompactPCI Mechanical Design MIC-3329 series is assembled with an aluminium CPU heatsink. 1.2.14 CompactPCI Bridge The MIC-3329 uses a Pericom PI7C9 universal bridge as a gateway to an intelligent subsystem.
1.2.15 I/O Connectivity For MIC-3329, the front panel I/O is provided with two RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, two DB9 COM ports, one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port, one VGA port, 1 audio port and 1 PS/2 port. Onboard I/O consists of two SATA channels, one is for the 2.5" on board SATA connector or Cfast socket, the other one is for on board NAND flash or is routed to rear transition module as RIO onboard cfast socket.

Introduction The AMI BIOS has been customized and integrated into many industrial and embed- ded motherboards for decades. This section describes the BIOS which has been specifically adapted to the MIC-3329. With the AMI BIOS Setup Utility, you can mod- ify BIOS settings and control the special features of the MIC-3329.
BIOS Setup The MIC-3329 Series system has AMI BIOS built in, with a CMOS SETUP utility that allows users to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power to pre- serve the CMOS RAM.
2.2.2 Main Setup When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter the Main setup screen. You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. Two main setup options are described in this section. The main BIOS setup screen is shown below.
2.2.3 Advanced BIOS Features Setup Select the Advanced tab from the MIC-3329 setup screen to enter the Advanced BIOS Setup screen. You can select any of the items in the left frame of the screen, such as CPU Configuration, to go to the sub menu for that item. You can display an Advanced BIOS Setup option by highlighting it using the <Arrow>...
