Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of pur-
chase.
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-
tive, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-
of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
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 merchandise
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
is not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid
to your dealer.

ARK-3405 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
ARK-3405 is an intelligent, fanless embedded system powered by Intel® Celeron
N3160 processor with multiple I/O interface and a wide range power design with two
slot PCIx1 card expansions.
ARK-3405 Celeron N3160 CPU performance has over 240% increase compared with
ARK-3403 and over 200% graphics increase.
ARK-3405 supports independent triple displays: HDMI, VGA and DVI-D. It also offers
6 x COMs, 2 x GbE, 3 x USB 3.0, 3 x USB 2.0 and 1 internal USB 2.0, 2 x Mini-PCIe
with 1 SIM holder, 1 x SD slot, and 2 x 2.5” SATA III storage devices.
Rugged & Multifunctional Design
ARK-3405 adopts an advanced thermal design for HDD and power enhancement. All
models are fanless, and highlight various quality features including wide-input power
supplies from 9V to 36V, wide temperature range from -10 ~ 55° C, diverse expand-
ability options and structural strengthening. Compared with ARK-3403, ARK-3405
provides richer I/O interface.
Various Expansion Support
ARK-3405 is a flexible model which can work in different environments and applica-
tions with multiple I/O and high performance. It can support three kinds of riser cards:
2 x PCI, 2 x PCIe x1 and 1 PCIx1 + 1 PCIex1. It also has board-to-board design and
more I/O ports in a coast line without cables.
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-3405 also supports Advantech’s own SUSIAccess, which pro-
vides 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-3405 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.
