1.6 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself and the products.
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 adjust a switch or install a card may
damage sensitive electronic components.
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.

2.2 Card Installation
The CompactPCI connectors are firm and rigid, but require careful handling 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. Follow the procedure below to install the MIC3321 into a chassis:
To install a card:
1. Hold the card vertically. Be sure that the card is pointing in the cor-
rect direction. The components of the card should be pointing to the
right-hand side.
2. Holding the lower handle, pull out the red portion in the middle of
the handle to unlock it.
Caution: Keep your fingers away from the hinge to prevent
them from getting pinched.
3. Insert the card into the chassis by sliding the upper and lower edges
of the card into the card guide.
4. Push the card into the slot gently by sliding the card along the card
guide until the handles meet the rectangular holes of the cross rails.
Note: If the card is correctly positioned and has been
slid all the way into the chassis, the handle
should match the rectangular holes. If not,
remove the card from the card guide and repeat
step 3 again. Do not try to install a card by
forcing it into the chassis.
5. Lift the lower handle up to push the card into place.
13 Chapter 2
To remove a card:
1. Unscrew the four screws on the front panel.
2. Press the lower handle down to release the card from the backplane.
3. Slide the card out.

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.

The Default is PCI Slot.Select PCI Slot to boot VGA in extended VGA
Card.
Reset Configuration Data
The default is Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) if you have installed a new add-on card, and system
configuration is in such a state that the OS cannot boot.

Resource Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure 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 "manual," choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menus that
follow this field (a sub menu is preceded by a "Y").
The settings are: Auto (ESCD) (Default), Manual.
IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a
type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Leave this field at Disabled. The settings are Enabled, Disabled (Default).
Maximum Payload Size
This allows you to set the maximum TLP payload size for PCI Express
devices.
The options are [128 bytes], [256 bytes], [512 bytes], [1024 bytes], [2048
bytes], and [4096 bytes].

Programming the
Watchdog Timer
Appendix A Watchdog Timer Programming
To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes a
value to I/O port address 443 (hex). This output value represents time interval.
The value range is from 01 (hex) to FF (hex), and the related time interval is
0.25 sec. to 63.75sec.
Data Time Interval
01 0.25 sec.
02 0.50 sec.
03 0.75 sec.
04 1.00 sec.
••
••
FF 63.75 sec.
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewriting
the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 443 (hex). The following shows how to program the watchdog timer in BASIC:
10 REM Watchdog timer example program
20 OUT &H443, data REM Start and restart the watchdog
30 GOSUB 1000 REM Your application task #1,
40 OUT &H443, data REM Reset the timer
50 GOSUB 2000 REM Your application task #2,
60 OUT &H443, data REM Reset the timer
70 X=INP (&H443) REM, Disable the watchdog timer
