This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec-

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
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 merchandize
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date

ARK-3399 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
ARK-3399 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 customers own housing, or as a stand-alone application,
where space is limited and the environment harsh.
A solid sealed aluminum case provides vibration and dust resistance while also pro-
viding a passive cooling solution. The ARK-3399 provides system integrators with a
turn-key solution and versatile application development path without breaking the
bank or missing time to market deadlines.
The ARK-3399 can be used as a standalone system, wall-mounted, DIN-rail
mounted. The system accepts a wide range of power supplies (DC power in) and
comes in a footprint of only 264.5 x 69.2 x 137.25 mm (10.41" x 2.72" x 5.4"). The
rugged cast aluminum case not only provides great protection from EMI, shock/vibra-
tion, cold and heat, but also passive cooling for quiet fanless operation.
The ARK-3399 answers this demand by offering 1 x VGA and 1 x LVDS interface for
dual display, 5 x USB 2.0 ports,1 x Giga LAN port and 2 x COM ports; packed into a
small rugged unit and powered by an Intel Core Duo processor. It also supports a
wide range of input voltages from 9 VDC to 34 VDC. The ARK-3399 Compact Embed-
ded Computer supports both 2.5” SATA HDD, Compact Flash card for storage
options and it can provide the diversified application field.

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 the ARK-3399 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.
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.

ARK-3399 provides two D-sub 9-pin connectors, which offer one standard RS-232
and one RS-232/422/485 serial communication interface ports each as COM1 and
COM2. The default setting of COM2 is RS-232, if you want to use RS-422/485, Two
things have to be done. first, you need to replace the original cable with the dedicated
RS485, P/N:1700001967, in accessory box. Second, Jumper J3 referred to section
2.2.4 need to be adjusted to either 3-4 for RS485 or 5-6 for RS422.
