Safety Instructions

1. Read these safety instructions carefully.
2. Keep this User Manual for later reference.
3. Disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
4. For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the equipment and must be easily accessible.

7. Do not leave this equipment in an environment unconditioned where the storage temperature under -40^ C or above 80^ C, it may damage the equipment. Operating temperature is -20^ C to 60^ C.
8. The openings on the enclosure are for air convection. Protect the equipment from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
9. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment to the power outlet. Cable of Power source should be shielded.
10. Position the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place anything over the power cord. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
11. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
12. If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient overvoltage.
13. Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
14. Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
15. If one of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service personnel:

■ The power cord or plug is damaged.
- Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
■ The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work according to the user's manual.
■ The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
■ The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.

1. 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 manufacture. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturers instructions.

2. ATTENTION: L'ordinateur est muni d'un circuit en temps réel de l'horloge alimentée par betterie. Il ya un danger d'explosion si la pile est replacée de façon incorrecte. Remplacez uniquement par un type identique ou équivalent recommandé par le fabricant. Jetez les piles usagées selon les instructions du fabricant.

3. CAUTION: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your 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.

4. CAUTION: Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard, backplane, or add-on cards. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. 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.
5. CAUTION: Any unverified component could cause unexpected damage. To ensure the correct installation, please always use the components (ex. screws) provided with the accessory box.

Jumper and Switch Settings

This chapter explains how to set up ARK-2151S Series hardware, including instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, and how to set switches and read indicators.

Be sure to read all the safety precautions before beginning the installation procedure.

3.1 Setting Jumpers and Switches

It is possible to configure the Computing Box to match the needs of the application by resetting the jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch. 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” a jumper, connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper, remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper has three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, connect either pins 1 and 2, or pins 2 and 3.

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If there are any doubts about the best hardware configuration for the application, contact the local distributor or sales representative before making any changes.

An arrow is used on the motherboard to indicate the first pin of each jumper.

Figure 5.1 Setup program initial screen

AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed CMOS so it retains the setup information when the power is turned off.

5.2 Entering Setup

Turn on the computer and then press or to enter the Setup menu.

5.2.1 Main Setup

When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter the Main setup screen. You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.

Figure 5.2 Main setup screen

The Main BIOS setup screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured; options in blue can. The right frame displays the key legend.

Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.

System Time / System Date

Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the keys. Enter new values through the keyboard. Press the key or the 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.

5.2.2 Advanced BIOS Features Setup

Select the Advanced tab from the ARK-2151S setup screen to enter the Advanced BIOS Setup screen. You can select any of the items in the left frame of the screen, such as CPU Configuration, to go to the sub menu for that item. You can display an Advanced BIOS Setup option by highlighting it using the keys. All Advanced BIOS Setup options are described in this section. The Advanced BIOS Setup screens are shown below. The sub menus are described on the following pages.
