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 at no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-war-
ranty repairs, customers are billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you suspect your product to be defective, follow the steps listed below:
1. Collect all 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 the manual, product,
and any relevant information readily available.

DS-370 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
DS-370 is an ideal digital signage player becuase it provides a system platform that
is not only compact, but also cost effective. For digital signage applications, this
device delivers a high graphics performance and energy saving benefits.
DS-370 is powered by an Intel® Celeron® J1900 quad-core processor, supports 3
display output interfaces (HDMI, DP++, and VGA), and can provide up to 2 display
outputs simultaneously. The platform is also equipped with 64GB of micro SSD on-
board storage for fast system boot and file read/write velocity. When used for kiosk
applications, direct user manipulation exposes the system and software to potential
alteration and damage. However, the built-in value-added software (write protection)
eliminates this risk by ensuring that the system is returned to its original state with
each reboot to provide users with a consistent use experience.
DS-370 features 2 gigabit LAN ports, 4 USB ports (3 x USB 2.0 and 1 x USB 3.0), as
well as 2 x COM (RS-232) and audio ports (1 x mic-in and 1 x SPDIF/line-out) to facil-
itate system integration and application. To enhance connectivity, the device also
supports 2 mini PCIe interfaces to enable the inclusion of add-on functions, wireless
modules, and/or 3G modules.

3.1 BIOS Introduction
Using the AMI BIOS Setup program, users can modify the BIOS settings and control
various system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the BIOS
setup screens for the DS-370 series.
The AMI BIOS’s ROM features a built-in setup program that allows users to modify
the basic system configuration. This information is stored in the flash portion of the
CMOS to ensure the setup information is retained even when the system is powered
off.
3.2 Enter Setup
3.2.1 Main Setup
When first entering the BIOS Setup Utility, users will land on the Main setup screen.
Users can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab.
The Main BIOS setup screen features two main frames. The left frame displays all
configurable options. The blue options can be configured, whereas the gray options
cannot. The right frame displays the key legend, above which is an area reserved for
text messages. When an option is selected in the left frame, the text becomes white
and is often accompanied by a text message.
Figure 3.1 Main setup screen
System Time/System Date
Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or
System Date using the <Arrow> keys. Enter new values via the keyboard. Press
the <Tab> key or the <Arrow> keys to move between fields. The date must be
entered in MM/DD/YY format. The time must be entered in HH:MM:SS format.

4.2 TXE Driver Installation
For Windows 7, the Windows update KB2685811 must be installed before TXE driver
installation.
Notice: For more information about KB2685811, please download the relevant
update information from Microsoft’s official website, or access the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38423
Note
We strongly recommend using the FITC tool provided in this kit.
Please use the Intel TXE FW and system tools provided in the
same kit. Combining tool from different kit versions can cause
unexpected problems.
Please use SPI Flash devices that adhere to the specifications out-
lined in the Bay Trail Platform SoC SPI Flash Compatibility
Requirements (IBL#514482, Section 3).
The Intel(R) TXEI driver for Android OS is provided as part of the
Android-based UEFI BIOS OS image.
FPT, TXEInfo, and TXEManuf tools do not support Windows 7.
Users are advised to run TXE manufacturing tools in an EFI Shell
or WinPE environment.
For Windows* 7 OS only: The Intel TXEI driver uses KMDF (WDF)
1.11, which is built into Windows 8 and 8.1. However, because
Windows 7 is not equipped with this driver, users must install the
Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF), Version 1.1. Otherwise, a
yellow bang will appear on the Intel TXEI device upon installation.
Please follow the instructions provided in the following link: http://
www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38423
Details of the sample signer tool reference code kit are provided in
Section 1.2.
Disclaimer: The sample signer reference code does not provide
adequate security. Additional functionality and software modifica-
tions are required to protect users’ private keys. Intel(R) assumes
no liability for lost or stolen private key data and/or system damage
or any other problems resulting thereof.
The VCN value is increased to ¯8ˇ. Consequently, a full firmware
upgrade from Intel(R) TXE FW 1.1.0.1089 is possible. However, a
downgrade from Intel(R) TXE FW 1.1.0.1113 to an earlier kit is not
possible.
