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 purchase.

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 defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For outof-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.

Safety Precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden 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 electrostatic 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 circuit.

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 manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboards'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 setting 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 setting jumpers.


1.8.2

CMOS Clear (CMOS1)

The AIMB-270 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the

CMOS to its default setting.

JCASE1: Case Open Sensor

The AIMB-270 motherboard contains a jumper that offer a chassis open sensor. The buzzer on the motherboard beeps when the case is opened.

1.9

System Memory

The AIMB-270 has two sockets for a 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM.

This socket uses a 1.5 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAM (DDR

SDRAM). DRAM is available in capacities of 1 GB, 2 GB and 4GB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with SODIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 1 GB, 2 GB and 4GB. AIMB-270 does NOT support ECC (error checking and correction).

1.10

Memory Installation Procedures

To install SODIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the SODIMM socket are in the “open” position, i.e., the handles lean outward. Slowly slide the SODIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then press the SODIMM module well down into the socket, until you hear a click when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the SODIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism.

1.11

Cache Memory

The AIMB-270 supports a CPU with one of the following built-in full speed L2 caches:

4 MB for Intel Core i7-620M CPU

3 MB for Intel Core i5-520M CPU

2 MB for Intel Celeron CPU

The built-in second-level cache in the processor yields much higher performance than conventional external cache memories.

1.12

Processor Installation

The AIMB-270 is designed for µFC-PGA989, Intel mobile Core i7/Core i5/Celeron processor.

Introduction

AMI BIOS has been integrated into many motherboards, and has been very popular for over a decade. People sometimes refer to the AMI BIOS setup menu as BIOS,

BIOS setup or CMOS setup.

With the AMI BIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control the special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for making changes and turning special features on or off. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AIMB-270 setup screens.

3.2

BIOS Setup

The AIMB-270 Series system has AMI BIOS built in, with a CMOS SETUP utility that allows users to configure required settings or to activate certain system features.

The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard.

When the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power to preserve the CMOS RAM.

When the power is turned on, press the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-

On Self Test) to access the CMOS SETUP screen.

Programming the

Watchdog Timer

A

A.1


The AIMB-270's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function within the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the watchdog timer and how to program it.

A.1.1

Watchdog Timer Overview

The watchdog timer is built into the super I/O controller W83627DHG-P. It provides the following user-programmable functions:

!

Can be enabled and disabled by user program

!

Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes

!

Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the timer before time-out

A.1.2


The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). 2E (hex) is the address port. 2F (hex) is the data port. You must first assign the address of register by writing an address value into address port 2E (hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).

----write write write write read/write

-----

Write this address to I/O address port 2E (hex) twice to unlock the W83627DHG-P.

Write 08 (hex) to select register of watchdog timer.

Write 01 (hex) to enable the function of the watchdog timer. Disabled is set as default.

Set seconds or minutes as units for the timer.

Write 0 to bit 3: set second as counting unit.

[default]

Write 1 to bit 3: set minutes as counting unit.

0: stop timer [default]

01~FF (hex): The amount of the count, in seconds or minutes, depends on the value set in register F5

(hex). This number decides how long the watchdog timer waits for strobe before generating an interrupt or reset signal. Writing a new value to this register can reset the timer to count with the new value.

Bit 7:Write 1 to enable mouse to reset the timer, 0 to disable[default]. Bit 6: Write 1 to enable keyboard to reset the timer, 0 to disable.[default]

Bit 5: Write 1 to generate a timeout signal immediately and automatically return to 0. [default=0]

Bit 4: Read status of watchdog timer, 1 means timer is “timeout”.

Write this address to I/O port 2E (hex) to lock the watchdog timer 2.
