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 merchandise

MIOS-5250 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
MIOS-5250, an intelligent, fanless embedded system powered by Intel®Atom™
N2600/D2550 Dual Core low power processor with multiple I/O interface. The new
generation Intel®Atom™ processor brings 44% improvement on processing power
and 90% on graphics performance than previous generation Intel®Atom™ proces-
sors. These low-power platforms provide energy-efficient and environmentally
responsible solutions, and serve applications targeted at factory automation,
machine automation, kiosks, and self-service applications; and they operate reliably
in 0 ~ 45 °C environments!
Multifunctional Design
MIOS-5250 is powered by Intel®Atom™ N2600 1.6GHz/D2550 1.86GHz dual core
processors in an Advantech, embedded box PC. All models are fanless, and highlight
various quality features including wide-input power supplies from 12V to 24V, wide
temperature range 0 ~ 45 °C, expandability options, and structural strengthening. It
also provides rich I/O interfaces: up to 6 x USBs, 2 x GbEs, 4 x COMs, and more I/O
via MI/O extension module, and also supports high capacity 2.5” HDD up to 1 TB.
Multiple Display Support
MIOS-5250 supports multiple display types: VGA, HDMI or LVDS display (by
request). The graphic engine is DirectX 9, H/W format decode/Acceleration, MPEG2
(H/W acceleration), H.264/ VC1/ WMV9 (H/W Decode/Acceleration). MIOS-5250
supports dual independent display.
Built in Intelligent Management Tools - Advantech iManager & SUSIAccess
Advantech iManager provides a valuable suite of programmable APIs such as multi-
level watchdog, hardware monitor, system restore, and other user-friendly interface.
iManager is an intelligent self-management cross platform tool that monitors system
status for problems and takes action if anything is abnormal. iManager offers a boot
up guarantee in critical, low temperature environments. iManager makes the whole
system more reliable and more intelligent. MIOS-5250 also supports Advantech’s
own SUSIAccess, which provides easy remote management so users can monitor,
configure, and control a large number of terminals to make maintenance and system
recovery more simple.

2.1 Jumpers
2.1.1 Jumper Description
Cards can be configured by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close
an electric circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected
by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To close a jumper, you
connect the pins with the clip. To open a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a
jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either
pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have
any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your
local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
2.1.2 Jumper List
Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply
before setting jumpers to clear CMOS. Before turning on the power sup-
ply, set the jumper back to 3.0 V Battery On.
