Hardware Installation and Upgrade This chapter introduces how to initial- ize the ARK-3380. Sections include: • Jumpers and Connectors • Installing the DDR SDRAM Memory Module • Inserting a Compact Flash Card • Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Box Computer, you should be aware of this. 3.2 Setting jumpers You can configure your ARK-3380 to match the needs of your applica- 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.
3.3 COM2 RS-232/422/485 Jumper setting (J3/J4/J5) The COM2 port located on front metal face plate of ARK-3380 unit which can be configured to operate in RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 mode by setting up the Jumper Pins of J3/J4/J5 located on internal motherboard of the ARK-3380 unit.
Up. The default setting of JP6 is 5V. 3.5 NTSC/PAL TV type Setting (J1) The ARK-3380 series of embedded box computer provides a J1 jumper located on the internal MIO-253 module I/O board for selecting NTSC or PAL type of TV set. When you connect your TV set to the S-Video or Composite Video output connector, you need to set up the J1 jumper to select the correct TV mode.
3.7 Inserting a Compact Flash Card The procedure of installing a Compact Flash card into the ARK-3380 is detailed below, please follow these steps carefully. Remove the power cord. Unscrew the two screws from the CF Door located on rear face plate of the ARK-3380.
Note: The CompactFlash socket is allocated as Secondary IDE Master. 3.8 Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk Drive (HDD) You can attach one Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drive to the ARK-3380's internal controller. The following are instructions for installation: Remove the power cord.
