Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants 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 that have been repaired or altered by
persons 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. If an Advantech product is defective,
it will be repaired or replaced free of charge during the warranty period. For out-of-
warranty repairs, customers will be billed according to the cost of replacement mate-
rials, 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 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 displayed when the prob-
lem 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 a return merchandise authori-
zation (RMA) 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 a proof of purchase date (such as a photocopy of your sales
receipt) into a shippable container. Products returned without a proof of pur-
chase date are not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number clearly on the outside of the package and ship the pack-
age prepaid to your dealer.

1.1 Introduction
As an NVIDIA Elite Partner, Advantech offers MXM GPU cards powered by NVIDIA’s
embedded GPUs, perfect for image processing and Edge AI acceleration in manu-
facturing, medical, and gaming industries. Built on NVIDIA's latest architectures,
Advantech MXM GPUs deliver state-of-the-art performance and responsive capabili-
ties for systems, as well as reduced latency, which is ideal for deployment in applica-
tions such as auto-optical inspection, driver-assistance, and surgical systems.
The Advantech SKY-MXM-A500 MXM module is a high-performance MXM graphics
module based on the NVIDIA Ampere GA107 chip. The module epitomizes both per-
formance and stability. On one hand, it has 2048 CUDA cores, 2GB or 4GB GDDR6,
and 6.54 TFLOPS of Single-Precision Performance; it’s powerful enough to handle
professional CAD drawing, medical applications, and even image processing. On the
other hand, the small form factor allows for easier system integration. The lower
power requirement allows it to run cool. All these features make this module an ideal
choice for an embedded solution with a need for high-end graphics capability.
