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.

1.1 Introduction
SOM-6867 is a COM-Express Compact module with pin-out Type 6 that fully com-
plies with the PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufactures Group) COM.0 R2.1
specification. The CPU module incorporates an Intel Atom E series and Celeron N/J
series processor and other peripheral chips to fulfill COM specific functions. The Intel
latest processor uses 22nm. This generation brings 3 times more performance
improvements than previous generations, and integrates powerful Intel HD Graphics
as well as DX11.1, OpenGL3.0, OCL1.2 MPEG2, AVC/H.264, and VC-1 HW decode/
acceleration. SOM-6867 provides a variety of interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA
Gen 2 USB3.0, USB client, and advanced optional functions for on-board storage.
Moreover, PCIe x4 can be used as x4 or x1 - making SOM-6867 more flexible.
Advantech iManager 2.0 satisfies a lot of embedded application requirements with
multi-level watchdog timer, voltage and temperature monitoring, thermal protection
through processor throttling, as well as LCD backlight on/off and brightness control,
embedded storage for customized information, and more. With Advantech SUSI
Access, you can remotely monitor and control devices for easy maintenance. All
Advantech COM Express modules integrate iManager and SUSI Access to benefit
your applications.
SOM-6867 is suitable for entry level portable computing applications needing ther-
mally sensitive, rugged, graphics/media/display and I/O demanding designs.
