  • Page 14: 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.
  • Page 15 Please refer to Appendix B for pin assignments.
  • Page 18 Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and your PC 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.
  • Page 19 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.

  • Page 62 The MIC-3355 is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in standalone or unmanned environments.
  • Page 63 To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a value of time interval. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3F (hex), and the related time interval is 1 sec. to 63 sec. Data Time Interval 1 sec.
  • Page 64 After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 443 (hex). The following example shows how you might program the watchdog timer in BASIC:...
