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 merchandise
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 in a residential installa-
tion. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

cal inspection, and medical equipment.
In addition, PCE-3029/4129 provides new SATA Gen3 (600MB/sec) ports, satisfy
high data applications, like storage and data management center. PCE-4129's SATA
ports support software RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 as a cost-effective and reliable data solution.
USB 3.0 ports reach 5 Gbps high data rates and RS-232. RS-422,RS-485 and paral-
lel ports are for industrial control applications. With flexible I/O interfaces, PCE-3029/
4129 can be an excellent, graphic or I/O processing platform with outstanding perfor-
mance and exceptional features. They are also the most ideal computing cores for
advanced compact-sized industrial next generation applications.
1.2 Features & Benefits

1.7 Safety Precautions
1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting
the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard’s default settings and your options for
each jumper.
1.8.1 How to Set Jumpers
You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by set-
ting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical 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” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins
with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a
jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you connect
either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when set-
ting jumpers.
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis when-
ever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sud-
den power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electrical discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist
strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative
surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered Real-time Clock.
There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.
Do not attempt to recharge, force open or heat the battery. Replace the
battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the man-
ufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.8.2 BIOS (JCMOS1)
PCE-3029/4129 CPU card contains a jumper that can erase BIOS CMOS data and
reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2
closed. If you want to reset those data, set JCMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few sec-
onds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the
CMOS to its last status or default setting.
1.8.3 ME Enable (JME1)
PCE-3029/4129 CPU card contains a jumper that can enable ME data. Normally this
jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed, then you can see ME information shows in
BIOS menu and ME can be updated, too. If you want to disable the function of ME
update, set JME1 to 2-3 closed.
1.8.4 Watchdog Timer Output (JWDT1) and Hardware Monitor
Alarm (JOBS1)
PCE-3029/4129 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the event the
CPU stops processing. This feature means PCE-3029/4129 will recover from a soft-
ware failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of
what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.
PCE-3029/4129 also provide jumper: JOBS1 to enable or disable hardware monitor
alarm.
