1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the AR-B1631 Single Board Computer. The AR-B1631 board Low power GX3 series Processors with
the advanced chipset CS5536(CS5535). This product is designed for the system manufacturers, integrators, or
VARs that want to provide all the performance, reliability, and quality at a reasonable price.

In addition, the AR-B1631 provides on chip VGA. The VGA, which provides up to True Color (32 bit) 1024x768, or
High Color (16 bit) 1280x1024 resolution. The VGA memory is share main memory (2M, 4M, or 8M). AR-B1631
also has 18-bit LVDS function in the system.

The AR-B1631 is loaded with special on-board features that rival full-size systems. It has one network controller on
board, uses Realtek RTL8100BL LAN controller, a fully integrated 10/100BASE-TX solution with high performance
networking functions. Supports Compact Flash™ Type II interface. Plus optional support for AC97 sound with
CD-input. The AR-B1631 also includes one 200-pin SO-DIMM DDR sockets for up to 512 MB total on-board
memory. The AR-B1631 has four on-board serial ports; COM1 with RS232C,COM2, COM3 and COM4 with
RS232C, 4 USB ports, and tough industrial grade construction. All these features make the AR-B1631 a very
"system integrator friendly" solution, perfect for handling applications in the harshest unmann ed environments.

2.2 SYSTEM SETTINGS

Jumper pins allow you to set specific system parameters. Set them by changing the pin location of the jumper
blocks. (A jumper block is a small plastic-encased conductor that slips over the pins.) To change a jumper
setting, remove the jumper from its current location with your fingers or small needl e-nosed pliers. Place the
jumper over the two pins designated for the desired setting. Press the jumper evenly onto the pins. Be careful
not to bend the pins.

We will show the locations of the AR-B1631 jumper pins, and the factory-default settings.

CAUTION: Do not touch any electronic components unless you are safely grounded. Wear a
grounded wrist strap or touch an exposed metal pa rt of the system unit chassi s. The static discharges
from your fingers can permanently damage electronic components.
