ADVANTECH aims to meet the customer’s expectations for post-sales service and
support; therefore, in addition to offering 2 years global warranty for ADVANTECH’s
standard products, a global extended warranty service is also provided for customers
upon request. ADVANTECH customers are entitled to a complete and prompt repair
service beyond the standard 2 years of warranty.
Standard products manufactured by ADVANTECH are covered by a 2 year global
warranty from the date of shipment. Products covered by extended warranty and
cross-region repair services against defects in design, materials, and workmanship,
are also covered from the date of shipment. All key parts assembled into ADVAN-
TECH system products such as LCD, Touch Screen, Power Supply, and peripherals
etc, will be also covered by the standard 2 year warranty.
Repairs under Warranty
It is possible to obtain a replacement (Cross-Shipment) during the first 30 days of
purchase (45 days for Channel Partners), if the products were purchased directly
from ADVANTECH and the product is DOA (Dead-on-Arrival).
DOA Cross-Shipment excludes any customized and/or build-to-order products. The
Cross-Shipment agreement signed by customers is required for initiating/releasing
cross shipment with ADVANTECH confirmation and verification. The only conditions
for Cross-Shipment are: a) the return must not be damaged, altered or marked, b) all
parts and accessories must be included as originally shipped; and c) proof of pur-
chase must be included. Any returns that do not meet mentioned requirements
above, or any wrong user settings/configurations will be denied, or subject to addi-
tional handling/service charges as determined by the ADVANTECH Repair Service
Department.
For those products which are not DOA, the return fee to an authorized ADVANTECH
repair facility will be at the customers’ expense. The shipping fee for reconstructive
products from ADVANTECH back to customers’ sites will be at ADVANTECH’s
expense.

2.1 Jumpers
2.1.1 Jumper List
2.1.2 Jumper Settings
2.1.3 Jumper Description
You may configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jump-
ers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric 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” a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To
“open” a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins,
labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with 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.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

Supplies main power to the PCM-3342 (+5 V), and to devices that require +12 V.
Reset connector (CN2)
Momentarily pressing the reset button connected to reset connector will activate a
reset.
2.2.2.2 Solid State Disk (CN4)
The board provides a CompactFlash card type I/II socket.
CompactFlash (CN4)
The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be enabled/dis-
abled via the BIOS settings.
The CompactFlash setting is fix master mode.
2.2.2.3 VGA LCD Interface Connector (CN5, CN6)
VGA/LCD/LVDS interface connections
The board’s PCI VGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable
of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including passive LCD and active LCD
displays. The board has connectors to support these displays: one for standard CRT
VGA monitors and one for flat panel displays
CRT display connector (CN5)
The CRT display connector is a box h connector used for conventional CRT displays.
TTL LCD panel connector (CN6)
The board supports 24-bit TTL LCD panel displays.
Users can connect to an 24-bit TTL LCD on it.
2.2.2.4 USB Connector (CN8)
The board provides up to two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. This gives complete
plug and play capability. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification Rev. 2.0
which supports 480 Mbps transfer rate, and are fuse protected 5 x 2 pin 180D (M)
connectors for internal 2 x USB connectors at CN8. You will need an adapter cable if
you use a standard USB connector. The adapter cable has a 5 x2-pin connector with
foolproof protection for incorrect plug-in on one end and a USB connector on the
other.
2.2.2.5 SATA Connector (CN9)
PCM-3342 supports Serial ATA via one connector (CN9). Data transfer rates up to
100 MB/s are possible, enabling very fast data and file transfer, and DMA operation
on one port.
2.2.2.6 Power & HDD LED Indicator (CN10)
The HDD LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low signal (24 mA sink rate)
power supply activity LED indicator.
2.2.2.7 LAN Connector (CN11)
Ethernet configuration
The board is equipped with 1 high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Ethernet interface
which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 10/100Mbps. It is supported by all major net-
work operating systems.

Chapter 2 H/W Installation
100 Mbps connector (CN11)
100 Mbps connections are made via the internal 5 * 2P box header.
2.2.2.8 COM Port Connector (CN12, CN13)
The board provides four serial ports: Four serial RS-232 ports in one 40-pin connec-
tor (CN12: COM1/2/3/4). It provides connections for serial devices or a communica-
tion network. You can find the pin assignments for the COM port connector in
Appendix A.
Serial Port RS-422/485 (CN13)
Serial ports can be configured to operate in RS-422 and RS-485 mode. RS-422 and
RS-485 are in one pin header (CN13) and can be configured via J1 connector.
2.2.2.9 GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) (CN14)
The board supports 8-bit GPIO through the GPIO connector. The 8 digital in and out-
puts can be programmed to read or control devices, with input or output defined. The
default setting is 4 bits input and 4 bits output.
2.2.2.10 Parallel Port Connector (CN15)
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The board includes
a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port accessed via CN15 and a 26-pin flat-
cable connector. You will need an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25 con-
nector. The adapter cable has a 26-pin connector on one end, and a DB-25 connec-
tor on the other. The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled in the
system BIOS setup. The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7.
You can select ECP/EPP DMA channel via BIOS setup.
2.2.2.11 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Connector (CN16)
The board provides a keyboard connector that supports both a keyboard and a PS/2
style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not
used. If the keyboard is not present, the standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or
fail during power-on self-test (POST) after a reset. The product’s BIOS standard
setup menu allows you to select “All, But Keyboard” under the “Halt On” selection.
This allows no-keyboard operation in embedded system applications, without the
system halting under POST.
2.2.2.12 PC/104 Connector (CN17)
PCM-3342 supports full ISA compatible functions via PC/104 connector (CN17).
20 x 2 (F) 2.54 mm 51.86 mm x 5.01 mm x 11.45 mm p = 3.40 mm
32 x 2 (F) 2.54 mm 82.34 mm x 5.01 mm x 11.45 mm p = 3.40 mm
PC/104 negative voltage: One 3 * 1P pin header (CN18) supports -5 V/-12 V power
input for ISA devices.
