Product Warranty (2 years)

Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two 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 merchandise

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.

1.7 Safety Precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from chassis whenever

you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the

motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to electrostatic discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.

There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.

1.8 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboards's default settings and your options for each jumper.

1.8.1 How to Set Jumpers

You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.

1.8.2 CMOS Clear (CMOS1)

The AIMB-212 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.

1.9 System Memory

The AIMB-212 has one socket for a 200-pin SODIMMx1. This socket uses a 1.8 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAM (DDR

SDRAM). DRAM is available in capacities of 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB. The socket can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 512 MB and 2 GB. AIMB-212 does NOT support ECC (error checking and correction).

1.10 Memory Installation Procedures

To install SODIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the SODIMM socket are in the “open” position, i.e., the handles lean outward. Slowly slide the SODIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then press the SODIMM module well down into the socket, until you hear a click when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the SODIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism.

Peripherals

2.1 Introduction

You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board as it is being installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or have a packed chassis, you may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections.

2.2 USB Ports (LAN1_USB12/LAN2_USB34/USB56/

USB78)

The AIMB-212 provides up to eight USB ports. The USB interface complies with USB Specification Rev. 2.0 supporting transmission rate up to 480 Mbps and is fuse protected. The USB interface can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.

The AIMB-212 is equipped with one high-performance 1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN adapter, and one 100 Mbps LAN adapter, both of which are supported by all major network operating systems. The RJ-45 jacks on the rear panel provide for convenient LAN connection.

2.4 Serial Ports (COM1~COM6)

COM1/COM2/COM3

AIMB-212 supports six serial ports. 1 of RS-232/422/485 - COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5 and COM6. The user can use JSETCOM2 to select among RS 232/ 422/485 modes for COM2. These ports can connect to serial devices, such as a mouse or a printer, or to a communications network.

The IRQ and address ranges for both ports are fixed. However, if you want to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup.

Different devices implement the RS-232/422/485 standards in different ways. If you should happen to have problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assignments for the connector.
