Product warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship
for one year from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products that have been
repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel autho-
rized 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 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 re-
placed 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 speed, Advantech 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 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.

1.1 Introduction
The CPC-2520 is an extension VGA/LCD module for the
CPC-2245 mini biscuit PC. The CPC-2520 uses a C&T 69000
chipset for its PCI/SVGA controller. It supports many popular
LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat panel displays and conventional
analog CRT monitors. The 69000 VGA BIOS supports mono-
chrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In
addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog
monitors (color and mono-chrome VGA) in high-resolution modes
while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital
monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported.
Multiple frequency (multi-sync) monitors are handled as if they
were analog monitors.
With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can
drive CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to
1024 x 768 at 64 K colors.
CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The
CPC-2520 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on
a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is
initially set to simultaneous display mode.
