MIC-3321 is a 3U, all-in-one, controller board, compliant with PICMG 2.0 R2.1 CompactPCI specifications. For high computing performance, MIC-3321 uses an Intel Pentium M 760 2.0GHz CPU and Intel 915GM chipset. This CPU provides high performance with its on-chip 2 MB L2 cache and is delivered in a Micro-FCBGA 479 package.

1.4 Board Dimensions Figure 1.2: MIC-3321 Board Dimensions 1.5 Dip Switch Settings Since MIC-3321 is composed of one main board and one daughter board, for ease of understanding and a convenient naming, we will use 1F (1st level) to represent the main board, and 2F (2nd level) to represent the daughter board hereafter in this manual.
1.5.1 Switch Locations Table 1.1 lists the switch functions of MIC-3321 (be sure that the switch is white one). Figure 1.3 and Figure 1.4 show the locations of S1 and S2, respectively.

Figure 1.4: MIC-3321 S2 Location (2F) 1.6 Safety Precautions Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself and the products. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2.2 Card Installation The CompactPCI connectors are firm and rigid, but require careful han- dling while plugging and unplugging. Improper installation of a card can easily damage the backplane of the chassis. The inject/eject handle of MIC-3321 helps you install and remove the card easily and safely.
To remove a card: Unscrew the four screws on the front panel. Press the lower handle down to release the card from the backplane. Slide the card out. Figure 2.4: Chassis Installation/Removal MIC-3321 User Manual...

CPU L1 & L2 Cache Enabled (default) Disabled Note: The internal cache is built into the processor. Quick Power On Self Test This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on the computer. If this is set to Enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.
Typematic Rate Setting Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller. When enabled, the typematic rate and typematic delay can be selected. The set- tings are: Enabled/Disabled. The default setting is Disabled. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) Set the number of times a second to repeat a keystroke key down. The settings are: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30.
4.2.3 Advanced Chipset Features Setup The Advanced Chipset Features Setup option is used to change the values of the chipset registers. These registers control most of the system options in the computer. Choose the "Advanced Chipset Features" from the main menu and the following screen will appear.

DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay This field is used to insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM have been installed in the system.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of periph- erals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory requirements.

IDE HDD Block Mode Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/write. If your IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the drive can support. The settings are: Enabled (Default), Disabled.

USB Controller Select enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) 1.1 controller. The settings are: Enabled (Default), Disabled. USB 2.0 Controller Select enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 controller. The settings are: Enabled (Default), Disabled. USB Keyboard Support Select enabled if you use USB Keyboard in DOS mode.
4.2.5 PNP/PCI Configuration Setup This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced make any changes to the default settings.
Resource Controlled By The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically config- ure all the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows 95/98. If you set this field to "man- ual,"...
