Purpose: The standard module has no jumper at CN1, so BIOS settings are main- tained without a RTC coin battery. If you need to restore BIOS default settings, please follow the steps below: 1. Remove the Coin Battery 2. Put the jumper on CN1 pin1-2 3.
1.3.8.5 Advantech S5 ECO Mode (Deep Sleep Mode) Advantech iManager provides additional features that allow the system to enter a very low suspend power mode called S5 ECO mode. In this mode, the module will cut all power, including suspend and active power, into chipset and keep an on-mod- ule controller active.
