dealers are well trained and ready to give you the support you need

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 shipment.
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's high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service.
If an AAEON product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at
no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-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 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.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair
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.

Quick Installation Guide
Installing PC/104+ Modules
The mainboard's PC/104 + connectors give you the flexibility to
attach PC/104 + expansion modules. These modules perform the
functions of traditional plug-in expansion cards, but save space
and valuable slots.
Installing these modules on the mainboard is quick and simple. The
following steps show how to mount the PC/104 + modules:
1. Remove the mainboard from your system paying particular
attention to the safety instructions already mentioned.
2. Make any jumper or link changes required to the mainboard
now. Once the PC/104 + module is mounted you may have
difficulty in accessing these.
3. Normal PC/104 + modules have male connectors and mount
directly onto the main card. However, to ensure better bus
matching, the connectors on the mainboard and the PC/104+
module are both female. For this reason, you may need to use
the "male-male" adapter included with the mainboard in order to
properly connect your PC/104 + module. (Refer to the diagram
on the following page.)
4. Mount the PC/104 + module onto the mainboard by pressing
the module firmly but carefully onto the mounting connectors.
5. Secure the PC/104 + module onto the mainboard using the four
mounting spacers and screws.
