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.
Exclusions from Warranty
The product is excluded from warranty if:
The product has been found to be defective after expiry of the warranty period.
Warranty has been voided by removal or alternation of product or part identifica-
tion labels.
The product has been misused, abused, or subjected to unauthorized disas-
sembly/modification; placed in an unsuitable physical or operating environment;
improperly maintained by the customer; or failure caused which ADVANTECH is
not responsible whether by accident or other cause. Such conditions will be
determined by ADVANTECH at its sole unfettered discretion.
The product is damaged beyond repair due to a natural disaster such as a light-
ing strike, flood, earthquake, etc.
Product updates/upgrades and tests upon the request of customers who are
without warranty.

1.3.4.1 Operating temperature
The Intel® Core Duo CPU® is specified for proper operation when the junction tem-
perature is within the specified range of 0°C to 100°C.
The Intel® 945GME chipset temperature runs at a maximum of 99°C. The Intel®
ICH7M I/O Controller case temperature runs at a maximum of 99°C.
The processor protects itself from catastrophic overheating by use of an internal ther-
mal sensor at a temperature level of approximately 100°C.

2.1.3 Jumper description
Cards can be configured by setting jumpers. 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
ocal distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
Setting Function
1-2 +5 V
3-4 +3.3 V
Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply
before setting jumpers. Clear CMOS. Before turning on the power sup-
ply, set the jumper back to 3.0 V Battery On.
