Introduction

ARK-2230 is an intelligent, modular, fanless embedded system powered by Intel Cel-
eron J1900 Quad Core low power processor. With the modular I/O design, ARK-2230
can easily switch I/O no matter single layer to bundle with iDoor modules or dual
layer to bundle with MIOe modules, and it can operate reliably in -20~60 °C environ-
ments. AIK-2230 is targeted at factory automation, machine automation, kiosks, and
self-service applications.
Rugged & Multifunctional Design
ARK-2230 is powered by Intel
an Advantech, rugged-design embedded box PC. All models are fanless, and high-
light various quality features including default power input of 12V DC and optional
wide-input 9-36V DC, wide temperature range -20 ~ 60 °C, diverse expandability
options, and structural strengthening. ARK-2230 enlarges the surface of the top
cover and conductive cylinder to create maximum cooling effects for optimized cool-
ing efficiency. It also provides rich I/O interface: up to 5 x USB, 2 x GbE, 4 x COM,
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-2230 supports two display types: VGA, HDMI display. The graphic engine is
DirectX 11.1, H/W format decode/Acceleration, MPEG2 (H/W acceleration), H.264/
VC1/ WMV9 (H/W Decode/Acceleration). ARK-2230 supports dual independent dis-
play.
Built in Intelligent Management Tools - Advantech iManager & SUSIAccess
Advantech iManager/SUSI 4.0 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 moni-
tors system status for problems and takes action if anything is abnormal. iManager/
SUSI 4.0 offers a boot up guarantee in critical, low temperature environments so sys-
tems can automatically recover when voltages dip. iManager/SUSI 4.0 makes the
whole system more reliable and more intelligent. ARK-2230L also supports Advan-
tech'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.
