MIC-3358 User's Manual - ECA Services Ltd

2.4 Serial Ports (CN3 and Rear I/O)The MIC-3358 offers one serial ports: COM1 in RS-232. With limitedfront panel access, one COM1 (CN3) can be connected via a RJ-45 to RS-232 adaptor and COM2 (CN9) interface has to be connected via rear I/Omodule (RIO-3309C) for implement. These ports allow users to connectto serial devices (a mouse, printers, etc.) or a communication network.You can select the address for each port to disable it, using the BIOSAdvanced Setup program, covered in Chapter 5. Different devices implementthe RS-232 standard in different ways. If you are having problemswith 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 youwish to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do thisin the system BIOS setup. The table below shows the settings for theMIC-3358 board's ports:Table 2.1: MIC-3358 serial port default settingsPort Address DefaultCOM1 3F8, 3E8 IRQ4COM2 2F8, 2E8 IRQ32.5 Ethernet Configuration (PU1 , Rear I/O and J3)The MIC-3358 is equipped with dual high performance 32-bit PCI-busGigabit Ethernet interfaces which are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u10/100/1000Base-TX specifications. Users can select front GbE or rearGbE or 2.16 by BIOS. Users can choice LAN1 connector either via frontRJ-45 jack (PU1) in MIC-3358 or rear RJ-45 (CN16) in rear module.Another one Gigabit LAN connector (CN15) has to go through RIO module(RIO-3309C).Moreover, the MIC-3358 supports PICMG 2.16 complaint with PacketSwitching Backplane Specification via J3 connector, it will installed inPICMG 2.16 backplane as switch-fabric applications blade server27 Chapter 2
