ARK-1120 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
The ARK-1120 fanless Embedded Box Computer is an ideal, application-ready sys-
tem platform solution. All electronics are protected in a compact, sealed, aluminum
case for easy embedding in the customer’s own housing, or as a stand-alone appli-
cation where space is limited and the environment harsh.
A solid sealed aluminum case offers vibration and dust resistance while also provid-
ing a passive cooling solution. The ARK-1120 provides system integrators with a
turn-key solution and versatile application development path without breaking the
bank or missing time-to-market deadlines.
ARK-1120 is designed as a palm-size fanless embedded system and occupies only
133.8 x 43.1 x 94.2 mm (5.27" x 1.70" x 3.71"). The rugged cast aluminum case not
only provides great protection from EMI, shock/vibration, cold and heat, but also pas-
sive cooling for quiet fanless operation. ARK-1120 meets demands by offering 1 x
VGA, 1 x Giga LAN, up to 4 x USB 2.0 ports, and up to 4 x COM ports; all packed into
a compact rugged unit and powered by an Intel
®
Atom™ N455 processor.
ARK-1120 also supports both 2.5” SATA HDD and Compact Flash card for storage
options even though it is a palm-size system. Besides ARK-1120 is a low power con-
sumption system and it is powered by DC 12 V input. The ARK-1120 provides for
diversified application fields.
