Chapter 1

General Introduction

This chapter gives background information on ARK-2230 series.

1.1 Introduction

ARK-2230 is an intelligent, modular, fanless embedded system powered by Intel Celeron J1900 Quad Core low power processor. With the modular I/O design, ARK-2230 can easily switch I/O no matter single layer to bundle with iDoor modules or dual layer to bundle with MIOe modules, and it can operate reliably in -20\~60 °C environments. AIK-2230 is targeted at factory automation, machine automation, kiosks, and self-service applications.

Rugged & Multifunctional Design

ARK-2230 is powered by Intel ^ Celeron ^™ J1900 2.0GHz Quad core processors in an Advantech, rugged-design embedded box PC. All models are fanless, and highlight various quality features including default power input of 12V DC and optional wide-input 9-36V DC, wide temperature range -20 \~ 60 °C, diverse expandability options, and structural strengthening. ARK-2230 enlarges the surface of the top cover and conductive cylinder to create maximum cooling effects for optimized cooling efficiency. It also provides rich I/O interface: up to 5 x USB, 2 x GbE, 4 x COM, and supports high capacity 2.5" HDD up to 1 TB. The RS-232/422/485 COM port mode can easily be changed via BIOS setting.

Multiple Display Support

ARK-2230 supports two display types: VGA, HDMI display. The graphic engine is DirectX 11.1, H/W format decode/Acceleration, MPEG2 (H/W acceleration), H.264/VC1/WMV9 (H/W Decode/Acceleration). ARK-2230 supports dual independent display.

Built in Intelligent Management Tools - Advantech iManager & SUSIAccess

Advantech iManager/SUSI 4.0 provides a valuable suite of programmable APIs such as multi-level watchdog, hardware monitor, system restore, and other user-friendly interface. iManager is an intelligent self-management cross platform tool that monitors system status for problems and takes action if anything is abnormal. iManager/SUSI 4.0 offers a boot up guarantee in critical, low temperature environments so systems can automatically recover when voltages dip. iManager/SUSI 4.0 makes the whole system more reliable and more intelligent. ARK-2230L also supports Advantech's own SUSIAccess, which provides easy remote management so users can monitor, configure, and control a large number of terminals to make maintenance and system recovery simpler.

H/W Installation

This chapter introduces external IO and the installation of ARK-2230 hardware.

2.1 Introduction

The following sections show the internal jumpers setting and the external connectors pin assignment for application.

2.2 Jumpers

2.2.1 Jumper Description

You may configure ARK-2230 to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. 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, you connect the pins with the clip. To open a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.

closed 2-3cl

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.

closed 2-3clc

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

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

3.2 Entering Setup

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

3.3 Main Setup

When users first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, users will enter the Main setup screen. Users 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 3.2 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.

3.3.1 System date / System time

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.

3.4 Advanced BIOS Features Setup

Select the Advanced tab from the ARK-2230 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.
