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

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

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis when-
ever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sud-
den 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 static
electric discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap
at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative sur-
face 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 cir-
cuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manu-
facturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
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.

1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting
the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard default settings and your options for
each jumper.
1.8.1 How to set jumpers
You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by set-
ting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical 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” (or turn on) a jumper, you connect the pins
with the clip. To “open” (or turn off) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a
jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect
either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when set-
ting jumpers.
1.8.2 CMOS clear (JCMOS1)
The AIMB-701 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset
the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2
closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J1 to 2-3 closed for just a few sec-
onds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the
CMOS to its default setting.

1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)
The AIMB-701 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU. This feature means
the AIMB-701 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1
jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the
watchdog timer is tripped.

Note! The interrupt output of the watchdog timer is a low level signal. It will be
held low until the watchdog timer is reset.

AIMB-701 User Manual 10
1.9 System Memory
AIMB-701 has two 240-pin memory sockets for DDR3 1066/1333/1600 MHz memory
modules with maximum capacity of 16GB (Maximum 8GB for each DIMM). AIMB-701
only supports non-ECC DDR3 memory modules. Please note that both versions
AIMB-701 do NOT support registered DIMMs (RDIMMs).
1.10 Memory Installation Procedures
To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the
“open” position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along
the plastic guides on both ends of the socket, and then press the DIMM module right
down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have auto-
matically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To
remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory mod-
ule will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.
1.11 Cache Memory
The AIMB-701 supports a CPU with one of the following built-in full speed L3 caches:
The built-in third-level cache in the processor yields much higher performance than
conventional external cache memories.
8 MB for 2nd Generation Intel Core i7-3xxx/2xxx CPU
6 MB for 2nd Generation Intel Core i5-3xxx/2xxx CPU
3 MB for 2nd Generation Intel Core i3-3xxx/2xxx CPU
3 MB for Intel Pentium G8xx CPU
1.12 Processor Installation
The AIMB-701 is designed for LGA1155, Intel Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium processor.
