1.6.3
Ethernet Configuration
MIC-6311 is equipped with a high-performance PCI Express-based network interface
controller, the I350, which provides IEEE802.3-compliant 10/100/1000Base-TX
Ethernet interfaces. Two GbE interfaces are connected to the front panel, and
another two GbE interfaces are routed to the backplane. These two GbE interfaces
can be configured to SERDES. Please contact your local Advantech distributor or
branch for information regarding the availability of SERDES SKUs.

SATA Daughter Board Connector (CN7 and Extension Module)
MIC-6311 provides one SATA interface for a daughter card of a SATA HDD via the
CN7 connector. The SATA HDD can also function as an optional onboard HDD. Two
SATA interfaces are connected to the XTM for processing additional SATA HDD
requests.
1.6.5
System Reset and BMC Reset Button
MIC-6311 features a system reset button located on the front panel. The system
reset button resets all payload and application-related circuitry, but does not reset the
system management (IPMI) related circuitry. A separate BMC reset button is pro-
vided on the front panel for resetting the BMC and related hardware.

Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your VPX chassis
before direct handling. Do not touch any components on the CPU board or other
boards while the VPX chassis is powered.
Disconnect the power before implementing any configuration changes. The sud-
den rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a board may damage sen-
sitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to eliminate any static charge before touching the CPU
board. Be particularly careful not to touch the chip connectors.
Contemporary integrated electronic devices, especially CPUs and memory
chips, are extremely sensitive to static electric discharges and fields. Leave the
board in its antistatic packaging when not installed in the chassis, and place it
on a static dissipative mat when working with it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for
continuous protection.
