This product meets the requirements of the European EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and is eligible to bear the CE mark. It has been assessed operating in a Blue Chip Technology housing. However, because the board can be installed in a wide variety of chassis, certain conditions have to be applied to ensure that the compatibility is maintained. - Page 7 Failure to observe these recommendations may invalidate the EMC compliance. Warning This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Troubleshooting guide; Connector Pin-Out details. We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to interface with MICRON or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary information is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident, you contact your supplier for guidance. IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE SECTION 'PRECAUTIONS' BEFORE HANDLING THE BOARD. - Page 9 MICRON S INGLE OARD OMPUTER UIDE MICRON Processor Board MICRON CONNECT Development Board Blue Chip Technology Limited Page 9...

• 128byte user EEPROM available. • Watchdog facility. The MICRON single board PC comes with Pentium-class Rise Technology iDragon mP6 Processors running at 2.0/3.3Volts. On-board voltage regulator circuits provide the required voltages for the processor from the incoming 5 volt power supply. This device gives a high performance/ power ratio. -
Page 11: Chip Set
UIDE CHIP SET The MICRON board uses the Trident CyberBlade i7 and VIA VT82C686B chipset. This is well known and widely used in the general purpose PC marketplace. It offers a high level of integration of standard functions, and with the latest iteration, UDMA-100 gives a high performance solution. -

Page 15: Installation
The MICRON CPU has to be installed at the top of a PC/104Plus stack because of its’ interconnect restrictions. It is also difficult to mount any PC/104 boards on top of MICRON because of the two obscured mounting holes not being available to take standard pillars. -

Full wire-screened cables are much more effective than those with a foil screen and drain wire. Use metal connector shells/covers, and do not allow the external screen to pass into the enclosure. Blue Chip Technology Limited Page 17... -
Page 18: Using The Board
The board contains a custom implementation of the Phoenix BIOS 4, Revision 6.1 to suit the specific hardware features. Certain combinations of BIOS settings may prevent the MICRON from working correctly. If problems or lock-ups are experienced on boot-up, clear the CMOS memory and restart. The default settings will usually work in most instances. -
Page 19: Programming The Board
BIOS set-up program, and then controlled by software using the software interrupt INT 50h. USER EEPROM The EEPROM on the MICRON unit is a NM93C46 serially programmed device. It comprises 128 bytes of user programmable memory, organised as 64 x 16 bit words. The EEPROM does not have to be completely erased before writing to a single location. -
Page 20: General Purpose I/O Lines
Carry flag clear GENERAL PURPOSE I/O LINES MICRON provides four LVTTL-compatible programmable digital input/output lines. Before the lines can be used, the GPIO function has to be enabled within the BIOS Set-up program. Once enabled, BIOS functions are available to control this facility. -
