Product warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
one year from the date of purchase.
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 defective, 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 on-
screen 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
merchandize 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.

1.3 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and
the products from damage.
1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from
your PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any
components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes.
The sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a
card may damage sensitive electronic components.
3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
you touch your CPU card. Be particularly careful not to touch
the chip connectors. Modern integrated electronic devices,
especially CPUs and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to
static electrical discharges and fields. Keep the card in its
antistatic packaging when it is not installed in the PC, and
place it on a static dissipative mat when you are working with
it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for continuous protection.

1.6 Jumpers
1.6.1 Jumper Locations
The MIC-3385 provides jumpers for configuring your board for
specific applications other than the default settings.
Table 1-1 list the jumper functions. Figure 1-3 illustrates the
jumper locations. The default jumper setting is illustrated in Figure
1-3.

1.6.2 Jumper Settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each
jumper. After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also
need to run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 6) to
configure the serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types
and system operating parameters. Connections, such as hard disk
cables, appear in Chapter 2.
For the locations of each jumper, see the board layout diagram
depicted earlier in this chapter.
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical
circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal cap (often
protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To "close" a jumper you connect the pins with the cap. To
"open" a jumper you remove the cap. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you connect either
pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:
Open Closed Closed 2-3
You may find a pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the
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.

1.6.3 Clear CMOS (JP3)
This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS
information. Follow the procedures below to clear the CMOS.
1. Turn off the system.
2. Close jumper JP3 (2-3) for 2-3 seconds.
3. Close jumper JP3 (1-2).
4. Turn on the system. The BIOS is reset to its default setting.
