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 pur-
chase.
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 defec-
tive, 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
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.

Safety Instructions
1. Read these safety instructions carefully.
2. Keep this User Manual for later reference.
3. Disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Use a damp
cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
4. For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the equip-
ment and must be easily accessible.
5. Keep this equipment away from humidity.
6. Put this equipment on a reliable surface during installation. Dropping it or letting
it fall may cause damage.
7. The openings on the enclosure are for air convection. Protect the equipment
from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
8. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
9. Position the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place anything
over the power cord.
10. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
11. If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source
to avoid damage by transient overvoltage.
12. Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
13. Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment should be
opened only by qualified service personnel.
14. If one of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service
personnel:
–The power cord or plug is damaged.
–Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
–The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
–The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work according to
the user's manual.
–The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
–The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
Safety Precautions - 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 elec-
tronic components.

SOM-3565 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
SOM-3565 is a Qseven module with pin-out that fully complies with the R1.20 speci-
fication. The new CPU module is built with an Intel Atom processor N2600 which con-
tains an Intel GFX Core GMA3600 and supports full MPEG2, AVC/H.264, and VC-1
HW decode/acceleration. It has an NM10 chipset which supports advance expansion
interfaces like PCI Express and I/O interfaces like Serial ATA (SATA) and USB2.0.
The Qseven form factor is 70mm x 70mm; SOM-3565 provides a balance of high per-
formance and easy to integrate solution for customer applications via golden finger, a
plug-in CPU module on an application-specific customer solution board. With
advanced interfaces like PCI Express, SATA, USB 2.0, and HDMI/DVI/DP interfaces,
it provides not only high speed/performance but also small pin-count that makes it
easy for the user to integrate in to their own system. SOM-3565 offers design part-
ners more choices for their own applications needing higher computing speeds while
maintaining a compact form factor.

AMIBIOS has been integrated into many motherboards over the past decade. With
the AMIBIOS Setup program, users can modify BIOS settings and control various
system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the SOM-3565 BIOS
setup screens.
Figure 3.1 Setup Program Initial Screen
AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This information is stored in flash ROM so it retains the setup
information when the power is turned off.
3.1 Entering Setup
Turn on the computer and then press <F2> or <DEL> to enter Setup menu.

3.2 Main Setup
When users first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, users will enter the Main setup screen.
Users can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There
are two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS
Setup screen is shown below.
Figure 3.2 Main Setup Screen
The Main BIOS setup screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the
options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured; options in
blue can. The right frame displays the key legend.
Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is
selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accom-
pany it.
3.2.1 System Time / System Date
Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or Sys-
tem Date using the <Arrow> keys. Enter new values through the keyboard. Press the
<Tab> key or the <Arrow> keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in
MM/DD/YY format. The time must be entered in HH:MM:SS format.
