Introduction - Advantech CompactPCI MIC-3000 Series User Manual

1.1 Introduction

The MIC-3366 is a 6U-size CompactPCI™ all-in-one single board with low power
Pentium® III 700MHz CPU on-board which complies with PICMG 2.0 R2.1
CompactPCI™ specifications. Targeting performance-demanding applications like
multi-computing and server blade applications. Based on Intel® 's 440GX chipset,
the MIC-3366 enhances its performance with 100 MHz front side bus.
High Performance Pentium ® III Processor
The MIC-3366 integrated an Intel® low power Pentium® III 700MHz processor with
the BGA2 package. The low power Pentium® III 700MHz processor has on-chip 256
KB cache providing high performance with low cost. With the support of a 100MHz
CPU bus clock, the MIC-3366 can fulfill custome r's expectations of
high-performance computing capability.
Compact Mechanical Design
The MIC-3366 has many functions on a single board with only one-slot width.
Advantech provides a CPU heat sink specially designed for the low power Pentium®
III processor, enabling the MIC-3366 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-3366 to use a Pentium® III CPU within a mere 1-slot wide space.
Single P2P Bridge
The MIC-3366 with single PCI-to-PCI Bridge (Intel® DEC21555) is purpose as a
slave CPU board that can make it works independently like any peripheral boards,
via AdvanNet driver, it can communicate with system master board by a virtual
Ethernet.
PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) IEEE1386.1 Compliant
The MIC-3366 supports up to two PMC sites and compliant with PICMG 2.3 (PCI
Mezzanine Card) specification. These two 32-bit PMC interface provides front access
capability by PMC modules for various function demanding.
Complete I/O Functions
The MIC-3366 offers all the I/O functions of an industrial computer with the rugged
Eurocard form factor. Since two PMC sites knockouts most area of front panel, only
few I/O connectors are available on the front panel including one Ethernet interface,
one serial port, and one PS/2 K/B and mouse. The rest of I/O has fully connected to
the rear I/O module via user-define connector (J3 & J5) on the backplane. These I/O
