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

General Introduction
This chapter gives background
information on ARK-2150 series.
1.1 Introduction
ARK-2150, an intelligent, fanless embedded system powered by Intel Core i3
3217UE / i7 3517UE Dual Core high performance processor with multiple I/O interface. ARK-2150 is the first one high performance product in ARK-2000 series. The
new generation Intel Core i processor brings 15% improvement on processing power
and 60% on 3D graphics performance than previous generation Intel Core i processors. These high performance platforms provide energy-efficient and environmentally
responsible solutions, and serve applications targeted at surveillance, machine automation, kiosks, and medical imaging; and they operate reliably in -20 ~ 60° C environments!
Rugged & Multifunctional Design
ARK-2150 is powered by Intel Core i3 3217UE 2.6GHz / i7 3517UE 1.7GHz dual
core processors in an Advantech, rugged-design embedded box PC. All models are
fanless, and highlight various quality features including wide-input power supplies
from 12V to 24V, wide temperature range -20 ~ 60° C, diverse expandability options,
and structural strengthening. ARK-2150 enlarges the surface of the top cover and
conductive cylinder to create maximum cooling effects for optimized cooling efficiency. It also provides rich I/O interfaces: up to 4 x Intel GbEs, 3 x USB 3.0, 4ch isolated digital input, 4ch isolated digital output, 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-2150 supports multiple display types: VGA, HDMI/Display Port or DVI-D display. HDMI and Display Port are designed in the same connector. It can support different panels by changing external cables. The graphic engine is Intel HD Graphics
4000 with DXVA (full AVC/VC1/MPEG2 Hardware Acceleration), OpenGL* 3.0 and
DirectX 11 support. ARK-2150 supports triple independent display.
Built in Intelligent Management Tools - Advantech iManager & SUSIAccess
Advantech iManager provides a valuable suite of programmable APIs such as multilevel 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-2150 also supports Advantech’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.

H/W Installation
This chapter introduces external
IO and the installation of ARK2150 hardware.
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-2150 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.
open

closed 2-3
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.

closed 2-3
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.

AMIBIOS has been integrated into many motherboards for over a decade. With the
AMIBIOS Setup program, users can modify BIOS settings and control various system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the ARK-2150 BIOS
setup screens.
Figure 3.1 Setup program initial screen
AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This information is stored in flash ROM so it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
3.1 Entering Setup
Turn on the computer and then press or to enter Setup menu.
3.2 Main Setup
When users first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, users will enter the Main setup screen.
Users can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There
are two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS
Setup screen is shown below.

options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured; options in
blue can. The right frame displays the key legend.
Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is
selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.
3.2.1 System time / System date
Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the keys. Enter new values through the keyboard. Press the
key or the keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in
MM/DD/YY format. The time must be entered in HH:MM:SS format.
3.3 Advanced BIOS Features Setup
Select the Advanced tab from the ARK-2150 setup screen to enter the Advanced
BIOS Setup screen. Users can select any item in the left frame of the screen, such as
CPU Configuration, to go to the sub menu for that item. Users can display an
Advanced BIOS Setup option by highlighting it using the keys. All Advanced
