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. MIC-3376 User's Manual...
1.10 Jumper and Switch Settings This section tells how to set the jumpers and switches 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.
CPU. Because some types of CPU set the clock ratio internally, this switch has no effect on those CPUs, and the MIC-3376 will detect the CPU type and decide the external clock automatically. For other CPUs, set the clock ratio according to the speed of the CPU.
1.10.2 JP1 Clear CMOS This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS information. The procedure for clearing CMOS appears below. 1. Turn off the system. 2. Close pin 2 and pin 3 of JP1 3. Turn on the system. The CMOS is now cleared. 4.
DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory capacity between 16 and 512 MB. Since the MIC-3376 can operate at 66 or 100 MHz, we recommend using PC100-compliant DIMMs. To enable the chipset's Error Checking and Correction (ECC) function, please use DIMMs which support the ECC function.
III/II CPU. The slot 1 socket is mounted parallel to the CPU card in order to keep the board within a 2-slot wide space. The configuration of the heat sink is specially designed for the MIC-3376 in a very thin format and can only accept S.E.C.C.2 package processors. The special designed heat sink will be packaged with the MIC-3376.
Figure 1-7: Installing a CPU into the slot 1 socket 1.13 Software support The MIC-3376 comes with a utility CD-ROM disc, which includes drivers and utility programs of Ethernet, SCSI, and SVGA interfaces. The 440BX chipset may not be recognized by some old-versioned Windows 95.
CompactPCI J3 connector. These connect to two IDE and one floppy drive connec- tors on the rear transistion board or on Advantech's 6U-sized back- plane. Users can attach two IDE devices to each IDE channel, either at the backplane or at the rear transition board.
VGA interface. The MIC-3376's CN3 is a DB-15 connector for VGA monitor input. Pin assignments for the VGA display are detailed in Appendix B. If a VGA card is used with the MIC-3376, the VGA display rate may be decreased.
2.8 Ethernet Configuration (CN4 & CN5) The MIC-3376 is equipped with dual high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Fast Ethernet interfaces which are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 10/ 100Base-TX specifications. It is supported by all major network operating systems and is 100% Novell NE-2000 compatible.
Improper installation of a card can easily damage the backplane of the chassis. The inject/eject handles of MIC-3376 help you install and remove the card easily and safely. Follow the procedure below to install the MIC-...
5. Pull the upper handle down and lift the lower handle up to push the card into place. 6. Secure the card by pushing in the red handle to lock it into place. Keep your fingers away from this area. Figure 2-1: Installing the card into the chassis MIC-3376 User's Manual...

To remove a card: 1. Unscrew the four screws on the front panel. Pull out the red position in the middle of the handle to unlock the handle. 2. Lift the upper handle up and press the lower handle down to release the card from the backplane.
Also includes AFT. This function requires a Cisco switch with FEC capability. The MIC-3376 comes with drivers for a wide variety of networks and operating systems. The MIC-3376 is an excellent choice for operation in standalone and harsh industrial environments.

4.1 Introduction The MIC-3376 uses an Intel C&T 69000 chipset as its AGP VGA controller. The VGA controller has an integrated 2 MB SDRAM operating at 83 MHz, and can drive CRT displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K colors. It supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility.
