x Safety Precaution - Static Electricity Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from damage. 1. 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. 2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic components.

18 Chapter 3 Hardware Installation and Upgrade 3.1 Jumpers and Connectors ARK-1370 Box Computer consists of a PC-based computer that is housed in an Aluminum alloy casting chassis. Any maintenance or hard- ware upgrades can be easily completed by removing the front or the rear face plate. If you are a system integrator and need to know how to com- pletely disassemble the embedded box computer, you can find more use- ful information in Chapter 6. Warning! Do not remove any mechanical parts, such as the front cover and rear cover until you have verified that no power is flowing within the Embedded Box Com- puter. Power must be switched off and the power cord must be unplugged. Every time you service the Embedded Box Computer, you should be aware of this.

tion by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch. 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 pins 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.

20 3.3 LCD Power Jumper setting (CN14) ARK-1370 series of embedded box computer provide a jumper - CN14 located on the internal carrier board for selecting the LCD signal power of 5V or 3.3V. When you connect your LVDS LCD panel display, you need to set up this CN14 for LCD power setting selection for your LVDS panel display. (*): means default setting of the jumper/function.

24 Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup 4.1 Introduction Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup information when the power is turned off. 4.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When you finish the BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically backed up to Flash ROM. If operation in harsh industrial environments causes a soft error, the BIOS will recheck the data in CMOS RAM and automatically restore the original data in the Flash ROM to CMOS RAM for booting. Note: If you intend to change the CMOS setting without restoring the previous backup, you have to click on "DEL" within two seconds of the "CMOS checksum error." display screen message appearing. Then enter the "Setup" screen to modify the data. If the "CMOS checksum error..." message appears again and again, please check to see if you need to replace the battery in your system.

assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU. If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact Advantech’s applications engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code file. ARK-1370 has the Award BIOS with CMOS SETUP utility which allows the user to configure required settings or to activate certain system fea- tures. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM on the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the board sup- plies the necessary power to the CMOS RAM. When the power is turned on, press the button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) which will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen.
