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.

Initial Inspection

Before you begin installing your GPU, please make sure that the following materials

have been shipped:

SKY-MXM-A500 GPU card x 1

China RoHS Doc x 1

If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or sales repre-

sentative immediately. We have carefully inspected the SKY-MXM-A500 mechani-

cally and electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks and scratches and in

perfect working order upon receipt. As you unpack the SKY-MXM-A500, check it for

signs of shipping damage. (For example, damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.) If it is

damaged or it fails to meet the specifications, notify our service department or your

local sales representative immediately. Also notify the carrier. Retain the shipping

carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier. After inspection, we will

make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.

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.

1.2 Features

NVIDIA® Quadro® A500 with MXM 3.1 TYPE A form factor (82 x 70 mm)

Up to 2048 CUDA cores, 6.54 TFLOPS

GDDR6 2GB/4GB memory, 64-bit, bandwidth 112 GB/s

Headless design, supports MS-Hybrid mode only

Long life cycle, supports 5+ years of availability
