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.

Declaration of Conformity
FCC Class A
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Opera-
tion of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Safety Information
Retain and follow all product safety and operating instructions provided with your
equipment. In the event of a conflict between the instructions in this guide and the
instructions in equipment documentation, follow the guidelines in the equipment doc-
umentation.
Observe all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions. To reduce the
risk of bodily injury, electric shock, fire and damage to the equipment, observe all pre-
cautions included in this guide.
You must become familiar with the safety information in this guide before you install,
operate, or service Advantech products.
Machine Room Environment
Make sure that the area in which you install the system is properly ventilated
and climate-controlled.
Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage
and frequency inscribed on the electrical rating label of the equipment.
Do not install the system in or near a plenum, air duct, radiator, or heat register.
Never use the product in a wet location.
Equipment Chassis
Do not block or cover the openings to the system.
Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment.
Dangerous voltages might be present.
Conductive foreign objects can produce a short circuit and cause fire, electric
shock, or damage to your equipment.
Lift equipment using both hands and with your knees bent.
Rack Mount Instructions
The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation
instructions:
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equip-
ment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not com-
promised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on over current protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rackmounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

v SKY-6100 User Manual
Make sure only one component is extended at a time. A rack might become
unstable if more than one component is extended.
Equipment Batteries*
The system battery contains lithium manganese dioxide. If the battery pack is
not handled properly, there is risk of fire and burns.
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of the
battery in fire or water.
Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
The system battery is not replaceable. If the battery is replaced by an incorrect
type, there is danger of explosion. Replace the battery only with a spare desig-
nated for your product.
Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
Do not dispose of batteries with the general household waste. To forward them
to recycling or proper disposal, use the public collection system or return them
to Advantech, your authorized Advantech partner, or their agents.
Equipment Modifications
Do not make mechanical modifications to the system. Advantech is not respon-
sible for the regulatory compliance of Advantech equipment that has been mod-
ified.
Equipment Repairs and Servicing
The installation of internal options and routine maintenance and service of this
product should be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the
procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with equipment containing
hazardous energy levels.
Do not exceed the level of repair specified in the procedures in the product doc-
umentation. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
Allow the product to cool before removing covers and touching internal compo-
nents.
Remove all watches, rings, or loose jewelry when working before removing cov-
ers and touching internal components.
Do not use conductive tools that could bridge live parts.
Use gloves when you remove or replace system components; they can become
hot to the touch.

SATA III, Intel RSTe (Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise), RAID 0, 1 (Windows
only*), 1 x M.2 2242 SATA device for OS installation, 3 x USB 3.0 (2 x in rear, 1 x
internal Type A Connector, and 2 x USB 2.0 on the front side.
These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities
and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
1.2 Features
General
Intel Xeon Scalable Family processor support: SKY-6100 supports two Intel
Scalable Family series multi-core (up to twenty cores) processors.
High performance I/O capability: Dual 10GbE + 1 x Gigabit LAN, 5 x PCIe x16
slots (x16 link), 2 x SATA connectors, 1 x SATA M.2 2242 connector, 3 x USB
3.0, and 2 x USB 2.0 ports.
Proprietary form factor with industrial features: SKY-6100 provides industrial
features like long product lifecycle, reliable operation, watchdog timer, etc.
IPMI 2.0 support: SKY-6100 equipped with ASPEED 2500 BMC chip supports
IPMI 2.0 (Intelligent Platform Management Interface 2.0) via first/third sharing
LAN port.
KVM over IP: SKY-6100 KVM over IP function allows remote control of system
through your own computer.
Note! 1. Each PCIe x16 slot could install a half high / half length / single
depth expansion card, or one full high/10.5" length / double depth
expansion card at LRF riser card.
2. Please refer to the release notes of each Linux OS for Intel's C622
chipset SATA RAID function support.
