Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants the original purchaser that all its products will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to products that have been repaired or altered by per-
sons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or products that 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
customers never need to use our repair service. However, if an Advantech product is
defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For
out-of-warranty repairs, customers are billed according to the cost of replacement
materials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you believe your product to be defective, follow the steps outlined below.
1. Collect all information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, and other hardware or software used.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages encountered when the
problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any relevant 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 completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card, and proof of purchase date (such as a photocopy of your sales
receipt) in a shippable container. Products returned without a proof of purchase
date are not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number clearly on the outside of the package, then ship the
product prepaid to your dealer.

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, connect
the pins with the clip. To open a jumper, remove the clip. Certain jumpers have three
pins, which are labeled 1, 2, and 3. In such cases, connect either Pins 1 and 2, or
Pins 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted below.
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be necessary when working with jumpers. For
advice regarding the optimum hardware configuration for your application, contact
your local distributor or sales representative before making any changes.
Generally, only a standard cable is required to make most connections.
2.1.2 Jumper List
Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn the power supply off
before setting jumpers.
