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.
Initial Inspection
Before you begin installing your motherboard, please make sure that the following
materials have been shipped:
1 AIMB-782 Startup Manual
1 Driver CD (user’s manual is included)
2 Serial ATA HDD data cables
2 Serial ATA HDD power cables
1 I/O port bracket
1 Warranty card
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or sales repre-
sentative immediately. We have carefully inspected the AIMB-782 mechanically and
electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect
working order upon receipt. As you unpack the AIMB-782, check it for signs of ship-
ping damage. (For example, damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.) If it is damaged or
it fails to meet the specifications, notify our service department or your local sales
representative immediately. Also notify the carrier. Retain the shipping carton and
packing material for inspection by the carrier. After inspection, we will make arrange-
ments to repair or replace the unit.

AIMB-782 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
AIMB-782 motherboard is the most advanced Intel Q77 board for industrial applica-
tions that require high-performance computing. The motherboard supports 2nd/3rd
generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium and DDR3 1333/1600 MHz memory up to 32
GB. AIMB-782 provides cost-effective graphics integrated in processor which is Intel
HD 2000/3000 graphics, and the graphics VRAM is 1 GB maximum shared memory
with 2 GB and above system memory installed.
AIMB-782 provides a mainstream PCIe x16 gen III expansion slot for add-on graphic
cards to meet higher graphics performance demand. In addition, the AIMB-782 has
dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via dedicated PCIe x1 bus, which offers bandwidth of up
to 500 MB/s, eliminating network bottlenecks. High reliability and outstanding perfor-
mance make the AIMB-782 the ideal platform for industrial networking applications.
By using the Intel Q77 chipset, the AIMB-782 offers four 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots;
one PCIe x1 slot, one PCIe x4 slot, one PCIe x16 slot and a variety of features such
as 2 onboard SATA III interfaces (bandwidth = 600 MB/s) and 4 onboard SATA II with
software RAID; 4 USB 3.0 and 10 USB 2.0 connectors and HD Audio. These power-
ful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities and high-
speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
The AIMB-782 also adopts Advantech’s unique patented Sleep Mode Control Circuit
for AT Power Mode. With all the excellent features and outstanding performance, the
AIMB-782 is the ideal platform for today’s industrial applications.
1.2 Features
PCIe architecture: The Intel Q77 PCH chipset supports 1 PCIe x16 slot, 1 PCIe
x4 slot, 1 PCIe x1 slot, 2 SATA III and 4 SATA II connectors.
High Performance I/O capability: Dual Gigabit LAN via PCIe x1 bus, 4 PCI 32-
bit/33MHz PCI slots, and 14 USB 2.0 ports.
Standard ATX form factor with industrial features: AIMB-782 provides indus-
trial features like long product life, reliable operation under wide temperature
range, watchdog timer functions, etc.
Automatically power on after power failure: It is often necessary to have an
unattended system come back to operation when power resumes after a power
failure. Advantech’s industrial motherboard allows users to set the system to
power on automatically without pushing the power on button. Please refer detail
"AT" mode setting.
Active Management Technology 8.0: The hardware and firmware base solu-
tion is powered by the system auxiliary power plane to remotely monitor net-
worked systems. Intel AMT(iAMT) stores hardware and software information in
nonvolatile memory. Built-in management provides out-of-band management
capabilities, allowing remote discovery and KVM to repair systems after OS fail-

Connectors on the AIMB-782 motherboard link it to external devices such as hard
disk drives and a keyboard. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that are
used to configure your system for your application.
The tables below list the function of each of the jumpers and connectors. Later sec-
tions in this chapter give instructions on setting jumpers. Chapter 2 gives instructions
for connecting external devices to your motherboard.

1.7 Safety Precautions
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.

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-782 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.
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.
