This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1.
Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU 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
merchandize 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 is not eligible for warranty service.

Chapter 3 Hardware Installation and
Upgrade
3.1 Jumpers and Connectors
The ARK-3381 Embedded Box Computer consists of a PC-based computer that is housed in an aluminum top cover, a metal bottom case with
accessed bottom cover and Front/ Rear Metal Face plate. Your HDD,
SDRAM, are all readily accessible by removing the accessed bottom
cover. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades can be easily completed
after removing the top cover, and Front with Rear Metal Face plate. If you
are a systems integrator and need to know how to completely disassemble
the embedded box computer, you can find more useful information in
Chapter 6.
Warning!
Do not remove any mechanical parts, such as the
top cover, bottom cover and front with rear face plate
until you have verified that no power is flowing within
the Embedded Box Computer. 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.
3.2 Setting jumpers
You can configure your ARK-3381 to match the needs of your application 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.
ARK-3381 User Manual
24
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.

Award BIOS Setup
Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup
4.1 Introduction
The Award BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) and 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 a system board button cell battery. When
BIOS setup is completed, the data in CMOS RAM is automatically
backed up to Flash ROM. If operating in a harsh industrial environment
causes a software error, BIOS will recheck the data in CMOS RAM and
automatically restore the original data from Flash ROM to CMOS RAM
for booting.
Note: If you intend to change the CMOS setting without restoring the previous backup, <Del> must be pressed 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 the system battery
needs to be replaced.
ARK-3381 User Manual

4.2 Entering Setup
Turn on the computer and check for the .patch code. If there is a number
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 an Advantech application engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This will
ensure that your CPU system status is valid. After ensuring that a number
is assigned to the patch code, press <Del> to enter Setup.
