Frequently Asked Questions
The MIC-7500 front panel provides the following interfaces:
- 1 x VGA (DB15) and 1 x DVI-D for display output
- 2 x GigaLAN (RJ45) ports
- 8 x USB 3.0 ports plus 1 x internal USB 2.0 header
- 2 x DB9 serial ports configurable as RS-232/422/485 (with automatic flow control) and 2 x DB9 RS-232 ports; up to 4 more RS-232 ports (COM5/6) are available via an included expansion cable
- 2 x audio jacks (1 x line-out, 1 x mic-in)
- 1 x 4-pin power input connector (9~36 VDC)
The MIC-7500 accepts 9 ~ 36 VDC input through a 4-pin Phoenix-style connector. Typical power consumption is 22.0 W and maximum is 51.1 W, depending on CPU model and configuration.
The MIC-7500 is rated for operation from -20 to 60 °C with 0.7 m/s airflow when equipped with an industrial wide-temp SSD (no expansion boards), or 0 ~ 50 °C when equipped with a 2.5" HDD. Storage temperature range is -40 ~ 85 °C. It carries CE, FCC Class A, CCC, and BSMI EMC certifications, and UL/CCC/BSMI safety certifications. It also has an IP40 dust-proof rating.
The MIC-7500 supports:
- 1 x 2.5" HDD/SSD drive bay
- 1 x CFast slot
- 1 x mSATA (via one of the two Mini PCIe sockets)
- 2 x 260-pin DDR4 SODIMM sockets, dual-channel DDR4-2133 (without ECC), up to 16 GB per socket / 32 GB total
- 2 x Mini PCIe sockets (one supports USIM, the other supports mSATA)
RAID 0/1 is supported.
The MIC-7500 supports Windows 10, Windows 10 IoT, Windows 8.1 (64-bit), Windows 7, and Linux OS. Note that the Intel Skylake platform used in this unit does not include a native USB 3.0 driver for Windows 7 — a SATA interface device (CD-ROM, CFast, or mSATA) is needed to install Windows 7, or contact your distributor for an Advantech Windows 7 image with USB 3.0 support.
The MIC-7500 measures 73 x 192 x 230 mm (2.91" x 7.55" x 9.05") and weighs 2.9 kg (6.39 lbs). It is designed for desktop or wall mount installation. Optional DIN rail and wall mounting kits are available.
COM1 and COM2 support RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 with automatic flow control; the mode is set through BIOS. COM3 and COM4 are fixed RS-232. Two additional RS-232 ports (COM5/COM6) can be added using the included dual DB9 expansion cable, for a maximum of 6 serial ports.
Yes. The MIC-7500 includes a single-chip watchdog timer with a programmable interval of 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes, built into the Nuvoton NCT6106D Super I/O controller. It can be programmed to generate an interrupt or a system reset if software fails to reset the timer in time.
The MIC-7500 barebone is offered with five CPU options, each corresponding to a different part number: i7-6820EQ (MIC-7500B-U8B1), i7-6822EQ (MIC-7500B-U0B1), i5-6442EQ (MIC-7500B-S9B1), i3-6102E (MIC-7500B-19B1), and G3900E (MIC-7500B-U4B1). All SKUs share the same I/O, storage, and power specifications; only the CPU differs.
How-to Guides
- Undo the 4 screws and remove the bottom cover.
- Undo 4 screws to remove the HDD tray.
- Undo 3 screws to remove the memory thermal cover.
- Affix a thermal pad (P/N: 1990019498N000) onto the memory module, then install the module into the SODIMM socket.
- Ensure the thermal pad and memory thermal cover completely cover and secure the memory before reassembling.
Use only compatible SODIMM modules (e.g. AQD-SD4U4GN21-SG, AQD-SD4U8GN21-SG, AQD-SD4U16N21-SE); non-compliant memory will prevent the system from booting.
- Undo 4 screws and remove the bottom cover.
- Undo 4 screws to remove the HDD tray.
- Secure the drive into the tray using 4 HDD screws (P/N: 1930002235).
- Connect the SATA cable and SATA power cable, then reinstall the HDD tray and secure it with 4 screws.
- Replace the bottom cover.
- Undo 4 screws and remove the bottom cover.
- Install the module into Mini-PCIe socket A (supports Mini PCIe signal & USIM) or install an mSATA module into Mini-PCIe socket B (supports Mini PCIe signal & mSATA), then secure with screws.
- Replace the bottom cover and secure with screws.
- Use the supplied 4-pin Phoenix connector.
- Connect pin 1 to GND and pin 2 to the +9~36 VDC supply, as marked on the connector.
- Confirm the supply voltage is within the 9~36 VDC input range before powering on the unit.
