2.3 VGA Display Connector (CN3)
The MIC-3376 provides an AGP VGA controller for a high performance
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.
2.4 Parallel Port Connector (CN1)
The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a printer.
The MIC-3376 includes an on-board parallel port, accessed through a
DB 25-pin connector, CN1, on the front panel.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1 and can be disabled or
changed to LPT2 or LPT3 from the system BIOS setup.

PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector (CN6)
The MIC-3376 provides a 6-pin mini-DIN connector (CN6) on the front
panel for connection of PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. The MIC-3376
comes with an adapter to convert from the single 6-pin mini-DIN
connector to a double PS/2 keyboard connector and PS/2 mouse
connector. Since these two connectors are identical, please be careful
to plug in the keyboard and the mouse into their correct connectors.
2.6 Serial Ports (CN2 and CN8)
The MIC-3376 offers two serial ports: COM1 and COM2, both in RS-
232. These ports let you connect to serial devices (a mouse, printers,
etc.) or a communication network.
You can select the address for each port ( For example, 3F8H [COM1],
2F8H [COM2]) or disable it, using the BIOS Advanced Setup program,
covered in Chapter 6.
Different devices implement the RS-232 standard in different ways. If
you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin
assignments for the connector.
