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.

1.7 Safety Precautions
1.8 System Memory
The PCE-7214 has four sockets for 240-pin dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) in
two separated memory channels. It can operate with single channel or dual channel
modules. We recommend using dual channel mode to provide optimized perfor-
mance. All these sockets use ECC registered DDR2-533/667 SDRAM. The maxi-
mum memory size is up to 32 GB.
1.9 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. 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.
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
single board computer. 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
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 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.
Note! Before install your PCE-7214 into a chassis, make sure that all compo-
nents on both sides of the CPU card do not touch any metal parts, espe-
cially the chassis wall and add-on card at the adjacent slot.

1.10 Processor Installation
The CPU on the board must have a fan and heat sink attached, to prevent overheat-
ing.
1. Make sure the socket LGA771 lever is in the upright position. To raise the lever,
pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that came with the
CPU. If you have no instructions, complete the following procedure. Carefully
align the CPU so it is parallel to the socket and the notches on the corners of the
CPU correspond with the notches on the inside of the socket. Gently slide the
CPU in. It should insert easily. If it does not insert easily, pull the lever up a little
bit more.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance
as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will
not damage the CPU. When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into
place at the side of the socket.
4. PCE-7214 accessory includes two CPU heat sink, please follow the installation
guide in the heat sink Box to install it properly.CP
Note! Owing to a limitation of the Intel®E5100 chipset, when you only use sin-
gle CPU on the PCE-7214, the CPU has to be installed in the CPU1
socket. Otherwise the system cannot boot up normally.
Warning! Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will over-heat and cause damage to
both the CPU and the single board computer. To install a CPU, first turn
off your system and remove its cover.
