1.5.1 Assembling / Disassembling MIC-3318
Since MIC-3318 is composed of one main board and one daughter
board, for ease of understanding and a convenient naming, we will use
1F (means 1st floor) to represent the main board, and 2F (means 2nd
floor) to represent the daughter board hereafter in this manual. Before
setting the jumpers, you need to disassemble the MIC-3318 to access
the component side of 1F. Figure 1-3 shows how MIC-3318 is disassembled/assembled.

1.5.2 Jumper Locations
The MIC-3318 provides jumpers for configuring your board for
specific applications other than the default settings.
Table 1-1 lists the jumper functions of MIC-3318. Figure 1-4 and Figure
1-5 show the locations of the jumpers.
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper.
After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also need to run
the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 6) to configure the
serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and system
operating parameters. Connections, such as hard disk cables, appear in
Chapter 2.
For the locations of each jumper, see the board layout diagram
depicted earlier in this chapter.
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal cap (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a
jumper you connect the pins with the cap. To "open" a jumper you
remove the cap. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2
and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

You may find a pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative
before you make any changes.
This jumper is used to set the CompactFlash card to be IDE master or
slave. The CompactFlash socket is connected to the primary IDE
channel. If a CompactFlash card and an IDE drive are connected to the
primary IDE channel at the same time, we recommend to set the
CompactFlash card as master and the other IDE drive as slave.
Otherwise, the MIC-3318 may not be able to detect the CompactFlash
correctly.

1.8 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the
products from damage.
1. 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. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The
sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may
damage sensitive electronic components.
14MIC-3318 User's Manual
3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before you
touch your CPU card. Be particularly careful not to touch the chip
connectors. Modern integrated electronic devices, especially CPUs
and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to static electrical
discharges and fields. Keep the card in its antistatic packaging
when it is not installed in the PC, and place it on a static dissipative
mat when you are working with it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for
continuous protection.
1.9 Installing SDRAM (SODIMMs)
The MIC-3318 provides one 200-pin SODIMM socket, which is on the
component side of 1F. The socket accepts 128, 256 or 512 MB DDR.
The socket can be filled with DIMMs of any size, giving a total
memory capacity between 128 and 512 MB.
The procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow
these steps carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off.
2. Install the SODIMM module. Install the SODIMM so that its gold
pins point down into the SODIMM socket.
3. Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and carefully
fit the bottom of the module against the connectors.
4. Gently push the SODIMM toward the board until the SODIMM is
parallel to the CPU card, and the clips on the ends of the SODIMM
sockets snap into place.
5. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all
connector contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around
in its socket.
NOTE:The SODIMM modules can only fit into sockets one
way, in accordance with the keyed notches along
the bottom edge of the modules. Their gold pins
must point down into the SODIMM socket.

comes with an 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.
18MIC-3318 User's Manual
2.5 Serial Ports (2F-CN3, CN5, CN4, CN6)
The MIC-3318 offers two serial ports: both support RS-232/422/485
modes (jumper selectable) via two DB-9 connectors seperately. These
ports allow users to connect to serial devices or a communication
network.
You can select the address for each port to disable it, using the BIOS
Advanced Setup program, covered in Chapter 4. Different devices
implement the RS-232/422/485 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-3318 board's ports:

4.2 Entering Setup
Turn on the computer and check for the "patch code". If there is a
number assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports
your CPU. If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please
contact Advantech's application engineer to obtain an up-to-date
patch code file. This will ensure that your CPU's system status is valid.
After ensuring that you have a number assigned to the patch code,
press <DEL> and you will immediately be allowed to enter setup.

Programming the
Watchdog Timer
A.1 Overview
The MIC-3318's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system
software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to
function after the programmed period. This section describes the
operation of the watchdog timer and how to program it.
The watchdog timer is built-in the super I/O controller W83627HF. It
provides the following functions for user programming:
• Can be enabled and disabled by user's program.
• Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes.
• Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset
the timer after time-out.
A.2 Programming the Watchdog Timer
The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E(hex) and 2F(hex), 2E
(hex) is the address port. 2F(hex) is the data port. You must first assign
the address of register by writing address value into address port
2E(hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned register through
data port 2F (hex).
