1.1 Introduction
Due to the growing popularity from the IPC market, the newest
Boxer series AEC-6876 has been introduced by AAEON.
New Innovation for Entertainment Multimedia Domain
In this era of i
nformation explosion, the advertising of consumer
products will not be confined to the family television, but will also
spread to high-traffic public areas, like department stores, the bus,
transportation station, the supermarket etc. The advertising
marketing industry will resort to every conceivable means to
transmit product information to consumers. System integrators
will need a multifunction device to satisfy commercial needs for
such public advertising.
Being a control center, the AEC-6876 is suitable for public
multimedia entertainment services. Equipped with a high efficiency
heat conduction mechanism.
The AEC-6876 is compact in size but has attractive and flexible
extension capabilities such as 4 USB2.0 ports, VGA, Audio, 4 COM
ports, and PCI-Express slot.
Stable Design for Rugged Environment
The AEC-6876 is designed for rugged environments due to the
following reasons; first, it can withstand tough vibration testing up to

5 g rms. With the anti-vibration hard drive device option, the
AEC-6876 can be used in high vibration environments. In addition,
the AEC-6876 offers low power consumption system that while
operating in ambient temperatures ranging from -10° to 55°C.
The AEC-6876 is a standalone high performance controller
designed for long-life operation and with high reliability. It can
replace traditional methods and become the mainstream
controller for the multimedia entertainment market.
