This device complies with the requirements in part 15 of the FCC rules:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B dig-
ital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to pro-
vide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Opera-
tion of this device in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense. The
user is advised that any equipment changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance would void the compliance to FCC regula-
tions and therefore, the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.

Ordering Information
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 merchandise
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.

AIMB-214 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
The AIMB-214 is designed with the Intel® Atom™ N2600/N2800/D2550/D2700 and
the NM10 forindustrial applications that require both performance computing and
enhanced powermanagement capabilities. The motherboard has on board CPU
Intel® Atom™ N2600/N2800/D2550/D2700 dual core 1.6/1.86/1.86/2.13 GHz and
DDR3 1066MHz up to 2/4 GB.
The AIMB-214 has rich I/O connectivity with up to six USB 2.0 ports ports and six
COM ports integrated in a standard 170 x 170 mm form factor. These motherboards
also support dual display for LVDS, HDMI, embedded display port and VGA.AIMB-
214 also comes with plenty of connectivity and expansion options. CompactFlash,
PCI bus, six COM ports, eight USB ports, 8-bit GPIO, two SATA III 6 GB/s connec-
tors, optional TPM security feature, mini SATA and Mini-PCIe expansion slots enable
easy integration, while a dual Intel® chipset, 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is also
available to deliver high speed networking.
AIMB-214 is powered by the newest Intel® Atom™ processors which are built on
32nm process technology. The thermal design power rating of the Intel N2600 single
core architecture is only 3.5W, while with the dual core processor is only 8W,
enabling future power reductions, smaller systems and performance improvements.
This is the first Ultra Lower Power mini-ITX board in Advantech. All these features
are packed into a space-saving, power-efficient, and cost-effective Mini-ITX form
factor.
1.2 Features
Supports Intel® Atom™ processor N2600, N2800, D2550 & D2700 dual core
One 204-pin SODIMM up to 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM
Supports 1 PCI and 1 Mini-PCIe expansion, 6 serial ports, 6 USB, and Cfast
Lower total cost of ownership with DC12V support, and supports 24-bit LVDS

1.7 Safety Precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from chassis whenever
you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power
is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden
power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the
PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to electro-
static discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface
or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.
There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.
Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the
battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the man-
ufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
