Product Warranty
AAEON 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 autho-
rized by AAEON, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse,
accident or improper installation. AAEON assumes no liability
under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of AAEON high quality-control standards and rigorous

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 type and speed, AAEON products used, other
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and
list any on-screen 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 material authorization) number from your dealer. This
allows us to process your return more quickly.

and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of pur-
chase 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.

2PCM-6892 User Manual
AAEON new compact size board PCM-6892 targets home automa-
tion, POS, Networking, and Kiosk/POI markets. To fulfill the critical
demand of the above markets, PCM-6892 features PCMCIA
expansion interface, large size display support ability, low profile
design, dual lan and yet still remains a cost-effective solution.
Onboard VIA Ezra/Eden EBGA mobile CPU is manufactured with
0.13 and 0.18 micron manufacturing process enabling cool process-
ing by minimizing power consumption and heat generation. Built-in
level 1 and level 2 cache accelerate computing performance. With
the embedded 3DNow! and MMX Technology, this CPU is capable
of high-end multi media application. Eden CPU features World
smallest x86 processor die is an ideal choice for your fanless
solution.
The PCM-6892 comes with VIA 8606 Twister T North Bridge
integrated AGP 4X 2D/3D graphics accelerator. With 18 bit/36 bit
dual channel LVDS interface and TTL signal, you can utilize this
board to display CRT.
This board offers two alternatives of power supply type: AT and
ATX. You can select whichever suitable for your application. The
ATX power supply board features power management to minimize
power consumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and
supports two types of power-saving features: Doze mode and
Suspend modes.
Dual 10/100Base-Tx Ethernet controllers provide superior network-
ing access ability. The compact flash will offer a larger memory bank
for data storage of all types. And the integrated AC97 2.0/Sound-
Blaster legacy audio provides better presentation for multimedia
application. Onboard PCMCIA interface on the solder side can be
widely used for IEEE 1394, Modem, Wireless LAN, Storage, Sound
Card and SCSI etc.. Equipped with the above functions, this
versatile board can be easily applied to a variety of fields.

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your 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 CPU card. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components in a static-dissipative
surface or static-shielded bag when they are not
in the chassis.
