How to install a 2.5-inch SATA HDD?

Unscrew the bottom cover screws (marked 'HDD'), remove the four snap rivets. Secure the 2.5' HDD onto the bottom cover using screws from the accessory box, connect SATA signal and power cables, then reattach the bottom cover.

What are the power requirements for the ARK-1122?

The system requires a DC 12V input. The included power adapter is AC to DC 12V/3A (36W). Minimum power input is DC 12V 1.5A.

How do I enter the BIOS setup?

Turn on the computer and press F2 or Del to enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. Refer to Chapter 3 of the manual for detailed configuration.

Can I connect a VGA monitor to the ARK-1122?

Yes, the ARK-1122 provides a D-sub 15-pin VGA connector supporting resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, along with an HDMI port.

How should I clean the device?

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. Use a damp cloth only; do not use liquid or spray detergents. Keep the equipment away from humidity.

What is the warranty period for the ARK-1122?

Advantech provides a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. See the warranty card for details.

How to configure COM ports as RS-422/485 on the ARK-1122C?

On the ARK-1122C, serial ports 3 and 4 can be set to RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 via the BIOS. Go to Advanced > Super IO Configuration > Serial Port 3/4 Configuration and select the desired mode.

How do I install an mSATA drive?

For ARK-1122H and C only, unscrew the bottom cover screws, insert the mSATA card into the slot, secure with a screw, then replace the bottom cover. For ARK-1122F, it is recommended to have it installed by CTOS due to complexity.

What is the watchdog timer and how to use it?

The watchdog timer is a 255-level interval timer that can be programmed via software (see Appendix A for sample code). It resets the system if a timeout occurs, useful for embedded applications requiring high reliability.

General Introduction

This chapter gives background information on ARK-1122 series.

1.1 Introduction

The ARK-1122 fanless Embedded Box Computer is an ideal, application-ready system platform solution. All electronics are protected in a compact, sealed, aluminum case for easy embedding in the customer's own housing, or as a stand-alone application where space is limited and the environment harsh.

The solid, sealed aluminum case offers vibration and dust resistance while also providing a passive cooling solution. The ARK-1122 provides system integrators with a turn-key solution and versatile application development path without breaking the bank or missing time-to-market deadlines.

ARK-1122 is designed as a palm-size fanless embedded system and occupies only 133.8 x 43.1 x 94.2 mm (5.27" x 1.70" x 3.71"). The rugged, cast aluminum case not only provides great protection from EMI, shock/vibration, cold and heat, but also passive cooling for quiet, fanless operation. ARK-1122 meets demands by offering up to 1 x VGA, 1 x HDMI, 2 x Giga LAN, 4 x USB 2.0 ports, and 4 x COM ports (by SKU); all packed into a compact rugged unit and powered by an Intel® Atom™ N2600/N2800 processor. ARK-1122 also supports both 2.5" SATA HDD, mSATA and SSD for storage options (by SKU) even though it is a palm-size system. Besides, ARK-1122 is a low-power-consumption system and it is powered by DC 12 V input. The ARK-1122 provides for diversified application fields.

2.2.3 Jumper Description

Cards can be configured 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.

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

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.

Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply before setting jumpers or clearing CMOS. Before turning on the power supply, make sure CMOS jumper is back to 3.0 V Battery On.

BIOS Settings

This chapter introduces how to set BIOS configuration data.

3.1 Introduction

AMIBIOS has been integrated into a plethora of motherboards for a couple decades. With the AMIBIOS Setup program, users can modify BIOS settings and control various system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the ARK-1122 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.

3.2 Entering Setup

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

3.2.1 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.

■ 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.

3.2.2 Advanced BIOS Features Setup

Select the Advanced tab from the ARK-1122 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, and smacking . 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.
