General Introduction

This chapter gives background information on ARK-2150 series.

1.1 Introduction

ARK-3510 is an intelligent, fanless embedded system powered by Intel 3rd Gen. Core i rPGA high performance processor with multiple I/O interface and 2 removable 2.5" HDD drive bays.

ARK-3510 offers 1 x DVI-I, 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI interface which can support independent Tri-display, 4 x USB 3.0 ports, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x Giga LAN ports, audio function, 4 x COM ports, 2 x Mini PCI sockets with SIM holders; all packed into a rugged unit and powered by an Intel® 3rd generation rPGA Core™ i7/i5/i3 processor (supporting up to 45W). The ARK-3510 IPC supports 2 x 2.5" removable SATA HDD driver bays, 1 x CFast card, and 2 x mSATA (miniPCIe slots, switch by BIOS) for storage options.

Multi-functional Design

ARK-3510 offers 1 x DVI-I, 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI interface which can support independent Tri-display, 4 x USB 3.0 ports, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x GigaLAN ports, Audio function, 4 x COM ports, and 2 x Mini PCI sockets with SIM holders; all packed into a rugged unit and powered by an Intel® 3 generation rPGA Core™ i7/i5/i3 processor (supporting up to 45W). The ARK-3510 IPC supports 2 x 2.5" removable SATA HDD driver bays, and 1 x CFast card, and 2 x mSATA (miniPCIe slots, switch by BIOS) for storage options.

Flexible Design

ARK-3510 is a rugged high performance fanless embedded box PC which can support wide-temperature ranges from -10\~60C (with SSD), it supports 12 VDC for the standard model, but we reserve a wide-input power module as an optional item which can support a wider range of power from 9-34VDC. We also reserve a special design for easily customized I/O support, ARK-3510 can use any standard MIOe-2XX series modules as an option for additional and flexible I/O port support. ARK-3510 is a flexible model which can work in different environments and applications with multiple I/O and high performance support.

Built in Intelligent Management Tools - Advantech iManager & SUSIAccess

Advantech iManager 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 offers a boot up guarantee in critical, low temperature environments so systems can automatically recover when voltages dip. iManager makes the whole system more reliable and more intelligent. ARK-3510 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.

Hardware

Configuration

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-3510 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.

BIOS Settings

AMIBIOS has been integrated into many motherboards for over a decade. With the AMIBIOS Setup program, users can modify BIOS settings and control various system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the ARK-3510 BIOS setup screens.

Figure 3.1 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 flash ROM so it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

3.1 Entering Setup

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

3.2 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.

3.2.1 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.

3.3 Advanced BIOS Features Setup

Select the Advanced tab from the ARK-3510 setup screen to enter the Advanced BIOS Setup screen. Users can select any item in the left frame of the screen, such as CPU Configuration, to go to the sub menu for that item. Users 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.
