2.4 Serial Ports (CN3 and Rear I/O)

2.4 Serial Ports (CN3 and Rear I/O)

The MIC-3358 offers one serial ports: COM1 in RS-232. With limited front 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/O module (RIO-3309C) for implement. These ports allow users to connect to serial devices (a mouse, printers, etc.) or a communication network. You can select the address for each port to disable it, using the BIOS Advanced Setup program, covered in Chapter 5. Different devices imple- ment the RS-232 standard in different ways. If you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assignments for the connec- tor. 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-3358 board's ports:

2.5 Ethernet Configuration (PU1 , Rear I/O and J3)

The MIC-3358 is equipped with dual high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Gigabit Ethernet interfaces which are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 10/100/1000Base-TX specifications. Users can select front GbE or rear GbE or 2.16 by BIOS. Users can choice LAN1 connector either via front RJ-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 mod- ule (RIO-3309C).

Moreover, the MIC-3358 supports PICMG 2.16 complaint with Packet Switching Backplane Specification via J3 connector, it will installed in PICMG 2.16 backplane as switch-fabric applications blade server
