0.7 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS
Before removing the board from its anti-static bag, read this section about static electricity precautions.
Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge that can build up in your body may be more
than sufficient to damage integrated circuits on any PC board. It is, therefore, important to observe basic
precautions whenever you use or handle computer comp onents. Although areas with humid climates are much
less prone to static build-up, it is always best to safeguar d against acci dents that may result in expensive repairs.
The following measures should be sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge:
Touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity in your body (or ideally, wear a grounded
wrist strap).
When unpacking and handling the board or other system components, place all materials on an anti-static
surface.
Be careful not to touch the components on the board, especially the “golden finger” connectors on the
bottom of the board.

1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the AR-B1690 POS Single Board Computer. The AR-B1690 board is POS form factor board, which
comes equipped with economical performance with the Celeron series processors, or the impressive performance
of the Pentium III series Processors, or Low power VIA C3 series Processors with the VIA ® advanced chipset
Apollo PLE133T (VT8601T and VT82C686B). 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-B1690 provides on chip VGA. The VGA, which provides up to Ture Color (32 bit) 1024x768, or
High Color (16 bit) 1280x1024 resolution. The VGA memory is share main memory (2M, 4M, or 8M). AR-B1690
also has 18-bit TFT LCD and LVDS function in the system.
The AR-B1690 is loaded with special on-board features that rival full-size systems. It has one network controller on
board, uses RealTek RTL8100B LAN controller, a fully integrated 10/100BASE-TX solution with high performance
networking functions. DOC and CompactFlash™. There is a Mini PCI socket for optional international version
modem, plus optional support for AC97 3D stereo surround sound with CD-input, AR-B9425 (line-in, line-out and
speaker-out, microphone). The AR-B1690 also includes two 168-pin DIMM sockets for up to 1G MB total on-board
memory. The ar-b1690 has four on-board serial ports; COM3 and COM4 have +5/+12 V power or GND, two USB
connectors for 4 USB ports, watchdog timer and tough industrial grade construction. All these features make the
AR-B1690 a very "system integrator friendly" solution, perfect for handling POS 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 loc ation 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-B1690 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.
