Product Warranty (5years)

Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for five years from the date of pur­chase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.

Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec­tive, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out­of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.

If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU

speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,

and any helpful information readily available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize

authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement

Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date
is not eligible for warranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid

to your dealer.

Declaration of Conformity

CE

This product has passed the CE test for environmental specifications when shielded
cables are used for external wiring. We recommend the use of shielded cables. This
kind of cable is available from Advantech. Please contact your local supplier for
ordering information.

CE

This product has passed the CE test for environmental specifications. Test conditions
for passing included the equipment being operated within an industrial enclosure. In
order to protect the product from being damaged by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
and EMI leakage, we strongly recommend the use of CE-compliant industrial enclo­sure products.

FCC Class A

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A dig­ital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to pro­vide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity

Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.

 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.

 Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush

of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec­tronic components.

1 Introduction

PCI/ PCI Express-Communication User Manual 2

1.1 Description

1.1.1 PCI Bus

The PCI Bus is a high-performance bus that provides a processor-independent data
path between the CPU and high-speed peripherals. PCI is a robust inter-connect
mechanism designed specifically to accommodate multiple high performance periph­erals for series communication, SCSI, LAN, etc.

Advantech serial communication card leverages the “Plug and Play” capability
defined in the PCI 2.1/2.2 bus specification. The board requires only one PCI slot
within the personal computer and provides independent serial channels. All channels
are addressed in a continuous 32 byte I/O block for simplified software access. And,
all channels may also share one PCI interrupt. An interrupt status register is available
for determining the interrupt source.

The Advantech PCI communication card comes standard, containing deeper FIFOs
than serial port. These upgraded FIFOs greatly reduce CPU overhead and are an
ideal choice for heavy multitasking environments.

1.1.2 PCI Express Bus

The PCI Express Bus is a high-speed, scalable I/O serial bus technology that is stan­dard designed to replace earlier PCI bus. Thus, PCI Express has numerous improve­ments such as higher maximum system bus throughput, less I/O pin, more detailed
error detection and reporting mechanism, and smaller physical footprint. Although, at
the hardware level, PCI slots and PCIe slots are not interchangeable, at the software
level, PCI Express preserves compatibility with PCI device drivers and OS.

PCI Express is a point-to-point connection, which means it does not share bandwidth
but communicates directly with devices via a switch that directs data flow. By adding
more lanes, scalable features can be achieved for greater bandwidth.

The PCIe link between PC and other devices can consist of 1 to 32 lanes. These
numbers indicate the number of lanes you wish to have. For example, PCIe x16 has
16 lanes.

2.1 Initial Inspection

2. ICOM CD-ROM including:

a. User manual

b. Industrial Communication Driver
c. Utility tool

We carefully inspect our PCI/ PCI Express communication card mechanically and
electrically before shipping. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect
working condition on receipt.

As you unpack, check for any signs of
shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). Should any damage is

found or it fail to meet specifications, please notify our service department or your
local sales representative immediately. Also the carrier should be notified. Retain the
shipping carton and packing material for further inspections by the carrier.

After inspection we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.

When you handle the communication card, remove it from its

protective packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration pack­aging for further storage, as the card was removed from the PC.

Warning! Discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching the back of the

grounded chassis of the system unit (metal) before handling the board.
You should avoid contact with materials that hold a static charge such
as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Handle the board only by its edges to
avoid static damage to its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the
exposed circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use a
grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static dissipative mat
whenever you work with it.
