Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
!To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
!Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.

ARK-3403 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
ARK-3403 Compact Embedded Box IPC is an ideal, application-ready, system plat-
form 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/or the environment harsh.
A solid sealed aluminum case provides vibration and dust resistance while also pro-
viding a passive cooling solution. The ARK-3403 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-3403 has been used as a standalone system, well-mounted and desktop
mounted. The system accepts a wide range of power supplies (DC power in) and
comes in a footprint of only 220 mm x 102.5 mm x 200 mm (8.66” x 4.04” x 7.87”).
The rugged cast aluminum case not only provides great protection for EMI, shock/
vibration, cold and heat, but also passive cooling for quiet fanless operation.
The ARK-3403 answers this demand by offering 6 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x Giga LAN
port, audio function, 4 x COM ports and 2 PCI expansion slots; packed into a small
rugged unit and powered by an Intel Atom D510 processor. It also supports a wide
range of input voltage from 12 VDC to 24 VDC. The ARK-3403 Compact Embedded
IPC supports 2 x 2.5” SATA HDD and 1 x Compact Flash card for storage options and
it can provide the diversified application field.
