The ARK-3535 uses an ATX/AT power type with a DC input voltage range of 9-36 VDC. An optional 230W AC to DC power adapter is available. Typical power consumption in OS idle mode is 10.8W (8640U) or 9.12W (8845HS), while maximum full-load consumption is 74.4W (8640U) or 94.08W (8845HS).
The ARK-3535 has an extended operating temperature range of -20 to 50°C (with extended temp peripherals and 0.7m/s air flow), and a storage temperature range of -40 to 85°C. It carries CE/FCC Class B, CCC, and UKCA EMC certifications, and UL, CB, CCC, and BSMI safety certifications.
The ARK-3535 supports DDR5-5600 memory via 2 x 262-pin SO-DIMM sockets (with ECC support), up to a maximum capacity of 96GB. For storage, it has 2 x 2.5" SATA III bays (max 9.5mm height), plus M.2 slots: 1 x Key B 2280 (PCIe Gen4 x2) and 1 x Key E 2230 (PCIe Gen3 x2).
The ARK-3535 supports Microsoft Windows 11 and Linux Ubuntu 24.04.
The ARK-3535 provides M.2 expansion slots for wireless connectivity: 1 x Key B 2280 (PCIe Gen4 x2, USB3.2, with nano SIM holder) and 1 x Key E 2230 (PCIe Gen3 x2, USB2.0). There are also 6 antenna holes (3 on left, 3 on right). Note that the SIM holder and M.2 slot are hardware interfaces for wireless integration only; system-level RF certification is not available.
The ARK-3535 measures 200 x 75 x 215 mm (W x H x D) and weighs 3.285 kg. It uses an aluminum top and metal bottom construction, and comes with a wall mounting kit.
Yes. The ARK-3535 has 1 slot for a PCIe x16 add-on card, which requires the optional AMO-3511 expansion kit that provides PCIe x8 signal (1 x PCIex8 to 1 x PCIex16).
Both SKUs share the same DDR5 capacity, HDMI, LAN, COM, USB, M.2, and audio configuration. The difference is the CPU: the ARK-3535-T5A1 uses the Ryzen 5 Pro 8640U, while the ARK-3535-T8A1 uses the Ryzen 7 Pro 8845HS. The "U" suffix variants (ARK-3535-T5A1U / ARK-3535-T8A1U) are Made in Taiwan.
How-to Guides
- Obtain the optional AMO-3511 expansion kit, which converts the 1-slot PCIe x16 connector to PCIe x8 signal.
- Install the AMO-3511 expansion kit into the ARK-3535's PCIe x16 add-on card slot.
- Insert your PCIe add-on card into the expansion kit.
- Confirm your power source is within the supported 9-36 VDC input voltage range.
- Connect the power source to the DC IN 9-36V terminal located on the top panel.
- Optionally, use the AC to DC adapter (96PSA-A230W24P4-3, 24V 230W) with an appropriate regional power cable (USA, EU, UK, PSE, or BSMI type) if AC power is required.
- Use the included mounting kit designed for wall mounting.
- Align the wall mount bracket with the mounting holes shown in the Wall Mount Expansion drawing on the unit's side.
- Secure the unit to the wall using the mounting kit hardware.
- Identify the M.2 Key B 2280 slot (supports PCIe Gen4 x2, USB3.2, includes nano SIM holder) or the M.2 Key E 2230 slot (PCIe Gen3 x2, USB2.0).
- Insert the wireless module (e.g., 5G or Hailo AI module) into the appropriate M.2 slot.
- If using a 5G or Hailo AI module in the B key slot, install the optional AMK-A0058 thermal kit; if using the E key slot, install the optional AMK-A0061 thermal kit.
- If using a SIM card, install it in the nano SIM holder associated with the M.2 Key B slot.
- Connect an antenna to one of the 6 available antenna holes (3 left, 3 right) as needed.
