Ide Device (Cn2); Vga Display Connector (Rear I/O); Ps/2 Keyboard And Mouse Connector (Through Rear I/O); Serial Ports (Cn7 And Through Rear I/O) - Advantech CompactPCI MIC-3000 Series User Manual

2.1 IDE Device (CN2)

The MIC-3366 provides two IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) channels via the J3
connector to the rear transition board (RIO-3306 for MIC-3366). Four IDE drives
can be connected to the MIC-3366 through the rear transition board. Users can
connect two IDE drives to each IDE channel. If two drives are installed on one
channel, remember to set one as the master and the other one as the slave. You
may do this by setting the jumpers on the drives. Refer to the documentation that
came with your drive for more information. A jumper diagram usually appears on
the top side of a hard disk drive.
Warning: Plug the other end of the cable into the drive with pin #1 on the cable
corresponding to pin #1 on the drive. Improper connection will damage the drive.

2.2 VGA Display Connector (Rear I/O)

The MIC-3366 provides a VGA chipset (CHIPs 69030) built-in display for high
performance application. The RIO-3306's CN7 is a DB-15 connector for VGA monitor
input. Pin assignments for the VGA display are detailed in Appendix B.
2.3 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector (Rear I/O)
The MIC-3366 provides a 6-pin mini-DIN connector (CN13) on the rear panel for
connection of PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. The MIC-3366 comes with a cable 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, follow the icons on the cable to plug the keyboard and the mouse into their
correct connectors.
2.4 Serial Ports (CN7 and Rear I/O)
The MIC-3366 offers two serial ports: COM1 and COM2, both in RS-232. With
limited front panel access, only COM1 (CN7) can be connected via a RJ-45 to
RS-232 adaptor and COM2 interface has to via rear I/O module (RIO-3306) for
implement. These ports allow users to 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 5. 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. The IRQ and address range for both
ports are fixed. However, if you wish to disable the port or change these parameters
later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup. The table below shows the settings
for the MIC-3366 board's ports:
