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.

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
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.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.
Battery Information
Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of as unsorted
household waste.
Please use the public collection system to return, recycle, or treat them in compliance
with the local regulations.

SOM-AB5810 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
SOM-AB5810 is the newest Mini-ITX application board. Featuring pin-to-pin compati-
bility with COM Express® Basic and Compact type 6 pin-out CPU modules- compati-
ble Advantech CPU models include SOM-5892 with 3rd Gen. Intel® Core™, SOM-
5894, and SOM-6894 with 4th Gen. Intel® Core™. SOM-AB5810 supports both nor-
mal and wide-range temperature demands, as well as a choice of ATX power supply
or DC-in 19V adapter. SOM-AB5810 is ideal for harsh environments and perfect for
outdoor surveillance, industrial automation, digital signage, kiosk applications and
much more.
SOM-AB5810 is designed for two different types of power selection- ATX power sup-
ply and DC-in 19V via an adapter. An optional ATX power supply can deliver under
47W to the CPU module board (Note: ATX power supply should be more than
200W). For the DC-in 19V adapter power design, it can deliver under 17W to the
CPU module. For the I/O interface, SOM-AB5810 supports standard and low profile
design types. The standard I/O interface fits with a standard Mini-ITX I/O shielding
and standard Mini-ITX chassis without alterations. The low profile I/O interface can
meet both standard I/O shielding or customized interface within a low profile chassis
design.
Advantech’s compact or basic CPU modules for SOM-AB5810 are pre loaded with
Advantech's SUSIAccess remote device management software and iManager firm-
ware self-management tool, which provides an invaluable suite of programmable
APIs such as multi-level watchdog timer, hardware monitoring, and many other intel-
ligent tools that can add greater value to your applications.
