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 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.

RSB-6410 Android User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
RSB-6410 is the world’s first RISC-based Mini-ITX motherboard computer which
integrates an NXP i.MX6D/Q Cortex-A9 1.0GHz high performance processor. This
embedded motherboard provides the ideal solution for industrial applications such as
machine control and self-service machine systems that require high performance
graphic interfaces, multiple I/O and networking connectivity but with low power con-
sumption.
RSB-6410 builds on the standard 170 mm x 170 mm Mini-ITX form factor with abun-
dant connectivity for multiple I/O including 6 x USB 2.0, 5 x COM, 20 x GPIOs,1 x
Gigabit Ethernet port and 1 x PCIe slot for extending I/O module. RSB-6410 also fea-
tures wireless connectivity, including 1 x M.2 E-key slot for WiFi and BT modules, and
1 x Mini-PCIe for 3G/4G modules. The system also supports triple displays for LVDS,
HDMI and VGA and there is sample code in the BSP to help customers build their
own applications.
RSB-6410 is not only the best hardware solution for the industrial market, but also be
flexible enough to be applied to various applications such as kiosks, ATM/VTM,
Industry controllers and IoT device related applications.

2.1 Jumpers
2.1.1 Jumper Description
Cards can 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 con-
nect 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.
2.1.2 Jumper List
Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply
before setting jumpers.
