anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandise
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.

ARK-2230 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
ARK-2230 is an intelligent, modular, fanless embedded system powered by Intel Cel-
eron 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 environ-
ments. 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 high-
light 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 cool-
ing 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 dis-
play.
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 moni-
tors 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 sys-
tems can automatically recover when voltages dip. iManager/SUSI 4.0 makes the
whole system more reliable and more intelligent. ARK-2230L also supports Advan-
tech’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.

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 jump-
ers. 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.
