Welcome to the AR-B1631ET Single Board Computer, the AR-B1631ET low power AMD Geode
LX800 processor board with the advanced chipset CS5536 (CS5535). The board is designed for
extreme environments, it can be operated from -40°C to +75°C which can make a lot of outdoor
applications available, such as Traffic Control, Vehicle Computer, Remote Workstation, Outdoor
Data Acquisition, Aviation or Military industries.

ACROSSER’s Extended Temperature Products contain onboard components that have been
chosen to withstand extreme operating temperatures. This platform has been fully loaded and
passed robust thermal cycling tests. It is a reliable, long life time and cost effective Extended
Temperature solution for your application.

In addition, the AR-B1631ET provides on chip VGA. The VGA, which provides up to
1920x1440x32bpp at 85Hz and 1600x1200x32bpp at 100HZ resolutions. The VGA memory is
shared with the main memory (2M, 4M, or 8M). AR-B1631ET also has 18-bit LVDS function in
the system, with a resolution up to 1600x1200x32bpp at 60Hz.

The AR-B1631ET 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 I interface. Plus optional support for AC97 sound with CD-input. The AR-B1631ET
also includes one 200-pin SO-DIMM DDR sockets for up to 1GB total on-board memory. The
AR-B1631ET 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-B1631ET a very "system integrator friendly" solution, perfect for handling applications in the
harshest unmanned 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 needle-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-B1631ET 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 part of the system unit chassis. The static
discharges from your fingers can permanently damage electronic components.
