Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts 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 instal-
lation. 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 test-
ing, 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 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 man-
ual, 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 war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

1.3 Safety Precautions
The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases,
you will simply need to connect a standard cable. All of the connector
pin assignments are shown in Appendix A.
Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis
whenever you are working on it. Do not connect while
the power is on. A sudden rush of power can damage
sensitive electronic components. Only experienced
electronics personnel should open the chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static electric
charge before touching UNO-2041. Modern elec-
tronic devices are very sensitive to static electric
charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times.
Place all electronic components on a static-dissipa-
tive surface or in a static-shielded bag.

2.1 UNO-2059E Peripherals
The following two figures show the connectors on UNO-2059E. The
following sections give you detail information about function of each
peripheral.

Figure 2.2: UNO-2059E Rear Panel
2.2 COM1~COM2: RS-232/485 Interfaces
The UNO-2059E offers two RS-232/485 serial communication interface
ports, and they are COM1 and COM2. Each port can be configured indi-
vidually to either RS-232 or RS-485 using on-board jumpers (see Appen-
dix A.2), and Table 2-1 lists the default setting of serial ports.

COM Port Default Setting
COM1 RS-232
COM2 RS-232

2.3 COM3~COM4: RS-232/422/485 Interfaces
The UNO-2059E offers two RS-232/422/485 serial communication inter-
face port, and they are COM3 and COM4. Each port can be configured
individually to either RS-232, RS422/485 by using on-board jumpers.
(See Appendix A.3) and Table 2-2 lists the default setting of each port.
16C954 UARTs with 128-byte standard
Advantech UNO-2059E comes standard with Oxford OX16PCI964
UARTs containing 128 bytes FIFOs. These upgraded FIFOs greatly
reduce CPU overhead and are an ideal choice for heavy multitasking
environments.
Jumpless for RS-422/485
In RS-422/485 mode, UNO-2059E automatically sense signals to match
RS-422 or RS-485 network.
Automatic Data Flow Control Function for RS-485
In RS-485 mode, UNO-2059E automatically senses the direction of
incoming data and switches its transmission direction accordingly. There-
fore no handshaking signal (e.g. RTS signal) is necessary. This feature
lets you simply and quickly build an RS-485 network with just two wires.
More importantly, application software previously written for half duplex
RS-232 environments can be maintained without need for modification.
IRQ and Address Setting
The IRQ and I/O address range are both assigned by BIOS, and four
serial ports use the same IRQ.

COM Port Default Setting
COM3 RS-422/485
COM4 RS-422/485

UNO-2059E User Manual 10
2.4 LAN: Ethernet Connector
The UNO-2059E is equipped with Realtek RTL8100BL Ethernet LAN
controller that is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 10/100Base-T
CSMA/CD standards. The Ethernet port provides a standard RJ-45 jack
on board, and LED indicators on the front side to show its Link (Yellow
LED) and Active (Green LED) status.
2.5 Power Connector
The UNO-2059E comes with a Phoenix connector that carries
18~48 VDC external power input, and features reversed wiring protection.
Therefore, it will not cause any damage to the system by reversed wiring
of ground line and power line.
2.6 LED Indicators
There are three LEDs on the UNO-2059E front panel for indicating sys-
tem status: PWR LED is for power status, DIAG LED is programmable
by user's requirement and IDE LED is for IDE bus status.
2.7 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector
The UNO-2059E provides a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector. A
6-pin mini-DIN connector is located on the rear panel of the
UNO-2059E. The UNO-2059E comes with an adapter to convert from
the 6-pin mini-DIN connector to two 6-pin mini-DIN connectors for PS/2
keyboard and PS/2 mouse connection. Please refer to Appendix A.6 for
its pin assignments.
2.8 USB1 & USB2: Universal Serial Bus Connectors
The USB connector is used for connecting any device that conforms to
the USB interface. Many recent digital devices conform to this standard.
The USB interface supports Plug & Play, which enables you to connect or
disconnect a device whenever you want without turning off the computer.
The UNO-2059E provides two connectors of USB interfaces, which
gives complete Plug & Play and hot swapping for up to 127 external
devices. The USB interface complies with USB specification OpenHCI,
Rev. 1.0. The USB interface can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.

11 Chapter2
2.9 PCMCIA: PC Card Slot
The UNO-2059E provides one PC Card slot that supports CardBus
(Card-32) Card and 16-bit (PCMCIA 2.1/JEIDA 4.2) Card standard. It
supports +3.3 V, +5 V and +12 V @ 120 mA working voltage.
PC Card is a 85.6 mm long by 54 mm wide (3.37" x 2.126") sized, 68-pin
connector used and removable module standardized by PCMCIA that is
known as “PCMCIA card.”
PS: PCMCIA interrupt assignment is IRQ 9.
2.10 VGA: VGA Display Connector
The UNO-2059E provides a VGA controller for a high resolution VGA
interface. It supports VGA and VESA, up to 1280 x 1024 @ 8 bpp and
1024 x 768 @ 24bpp resolution and up to 16 MB share memory. The
VGA interface is reserved for system testing and debugging. The UNO-
2059E's JP8 is a 6-pin mini connector and CN7 is a 15-pin connector for a
VGA monitor. A VGA cable is attached to convert from a 6-pin mini con-
nector to standard VGA connector. You can choose one of VGA inter-
faces for system testing and debugging. Pin assignments for VGA display
are detailed in Appendix A.8.
2.11 Programmable LED & Buzzer
In headless application (an application without monitor display), it is
always a big problem to know the system status. Another PC may be
needed to monitor headless device status via RS-232 or Ethernet. In order
to solve this problem, UNO-2059E offers a programmable LED indicator
and buzzer. Hence, they can be programmed to show a system’s status by
LED indicator flickering and buzzer alarm.
