- Click at Advanced button will appear Advanced Settings for COM1 window, then click cancel Use FIFO buffers (requires 16550 compatible UART) and then click OK.
- Then restart your computer. - After restart your computer complete, you have to connect ICD2 to serial port of computer and then have to connected VCC, GND, PGD, PGC, MCLR to Target board ( How to Connect see in Part 2 ). This example using PIC16F873A. - Open MPLAB IDE program and select at Configure--> Select Device menu as follow picture.
- Then will appear Select Device window, you have to select number of microcontroller (example used 16F873A) then click OK as follow picture.

Now our ICD2 board is ready to use. The next step will suggest to take file from outside to programmer by ICD2 and use ICD2 cooperate with CCS. ************************************************************** From the last part we learned how to configuration ICD2. This part will mention to use *.HEX to programmer by ICD2. - Open MPLAB IDE program and select at Configure-->Select Device...menu as picture below.

- In case that we’re programmer PIC we can click at the Release from Reset icon for running program, for MPLAB V7.xx can rapid configuration running after programmer completed.
************************************************************************************ This part will mention to use CCS by MPLAB for Editor, for advantage of this method is when we write the source code finished, we can programmer immediately to ICD2 after compiler was completed, without import as the last part.
