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.

Declaration of Conformity
FCC
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.
Operation 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 compli-
ance to FCC regulations 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.
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.

1.6 System Memory
ASMB-820I has six 240-pin memory slots for DDR3 1066/1333/1600 MHz memory
modules with maximum capacity of 96 GB (Maximum 16 GB for each DIMM).
ASMB-820I supports registered DIMMs or unbuffered DIMM with ECC / Non-ECC
memory module.
1.7 Memory Installation Procedures
To install DIMMs, make sure that two handles of the DIMM socket are in the "open"
position. 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 automatically
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 module will be
ejected by the mechanism in the socket.
1.8 Processor Installation
The ASMB-820I is designed for single LGA1356, Intel E5-2400 series Xeon proces-
sor.
