Product warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
one year from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products that have been
repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel autho-
rized 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 high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service.
If an Advantech product is defective, 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
on- screen 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 pur-
chase 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.

1.1 Introduction
Advantech’s new mini biscuit PC, the CPC-2245, is truly an all-in
one 486 processor-based single board computer. It comes equipped
with 32 MB DRAM on board, an SVGA interface which supports
CRT monitors with up to 4 MB display memory, a 10/100Base-T
Ethernet interface, and a CompactFlash solid state disk socket. In
addition, it is equipped with two RS-232 serial ports, one bidirec-
tional printer port which supports SPP, ECP and EPP modes, an IDE
HDD interface, a floppy disk controller, as well as one ISA interface
for functional expansion. With its industrial grade reliability, the
CPC-2245 can operate continuously at temperatures up to 60ºC
(140ºF). This compact unit offers all these functions within the
space of a 2.5" hard disk drive (68 x 100 mm). All these numerous
features provide an ideal price/performance solution for commercial
and industrial applications where stability and reliability are
essential.
The CPC-2245 mini biscuit PC’s power can be supplied through a
SODIMM socket or an on-board power connector. Thus, the
CPC-2245 can be embedded into the user’s system board, or used
as a single board application. The ISA bus, HDD, FDD and parallel
interface are connected to the user’s system board via a SODIMM
socket. This form factor has the benefits of easy maintenance. A
damaged card can be replaced within 30 seconds. Furthermore, the
mini biscuit PC is easily upgraded from 486 to Pentium®without the
need to change the user’s system board.
The CPC-2245 provides many useful functions in a tiny card. It
reserves a small PCI connector for other extension modules, such
astheCPC-2520VGA/LCDmodule. It provides more flexible
functions to satisfy all users' different application requirements.
TheCPC-2245issmall-sized,highlyintegrated,easytomaintain,
easytoupgrade, and easyto install. Thesefeatures make itideal for
applications such as small industrial controllers, panel PCs,
securitysystems,Internetgateways,instruments,medical
equipment,buildingautomation,andsoon.

2.1 Jumpers and connectors
On-board connectors link to external devices such as hard disk
drives, keyboards, floppy drives, and so on. In addition, the board
has jumpers for configuring your board for specific applications.
The table below lists the function of each of the board’s jumpers
and connectors. Later sections in this chapter give detailed
information on each jumper setting, and instructions for connecting
external devices to your card.

2.3 Safety precautions
Warning! Alwayscompletelydisconnect thepowercord from
yourchassiswhenever youareworkingon it.Do
not--makeconnectionswhile the powerison
because sensitive electronic components can be
damagedbythe suddenrushofpower. Only
experiencedelectronicspersonnelshouldopen
the PC chassis.
Caution! Alwaysgroundyourself toremoveanystatic
chargebeforetouching theCPUcard.Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. 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.

Chapter 2 Installation 11
2.4 Setting jumpers
You may configure your card to match the needs of your applica-
tion by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical
switch. 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 connect 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 representa-
tive before you make any changes.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connec-
tions.
