CHAPTER 2 3 Hardware Installation and Upgrade This chapter introduces how to initialize the ARK-3389. Sections include: • Jumpers and Connectors • Installing the DDR SDRAM Memory Module • Inserting a Compact Flash Card • Installing the 2.
Chapter 3 Hardware Installation and Upgrade 3.1 Jumpers and Connectors The ARK-3389 Embedded Box Computer consists of a PC-based computer that is housed in a aluminum top cover, a metal bottom case with accessed bottom cover and Front with Rear Metal Face plate. Your HDD, SDRAM, are all readily accessible by removing the accessed bottom cover. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades can be easily completed after removing the top cover, and Front with Rear Metal Face plate.
3.2 Setting jumpers You can configure your ARK-3389 to match the needs of your application by setting 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, 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.
Please also refer to Chapter 6 “Full Disassembly Procedure of ARK-3389 Embedded Box Computer”. The default setting of COM2 is RS-232. The RS-422/485 mode of COM2 can be support via replacing the internal cable and adjust the jumper inside of system. 3.4 LCD Power Jumper Setting (JP6) The ARK-3389 series of embedded box computers provide a jumper JP6 located on internal PCM-9380 or PCM-9386 motherboard for selecting the LCD signal power of either 5V or 3.3V.

CHAPTER 2 4 Award BIOS Setup
Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup 4.1 Introduction The Award BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) and it retains the setup information when the power is turned off. 4.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore The CMOS RAM is powered by a system board button cell battery. When BIOS setup is completed, the data in CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to Flash ROM.
4.2 Entering Setup Turn on the computer and check for the .patch code. If there is a number assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU. If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact an Advantech application engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This will ensure that your CPU system status is valid. After ensuring that a number is assigned to the patch code, press to enter Setup.
