1.1 Introduction

The FES-6841 is an Embedded Control PC with Mini-card or Mini-PCI socket that supports different
interfaces. Multiple IO ports and Anti-vibration are the main design features of the FES-6841.
This allows the FES-6841 to be installed in a rugged transportation environment despite high ambient
vibration.

In addition to the fanless CPU, the FES-6841 was use the Intel® AtomTM N270 1,6GHz CPU, fea­tures one Mini-card or Mini-PCI expansion socket for devices expansion. A DC power supply is com­monly used in most vehicles and factory equipments. The FES-6841 can supply by a DC 9~30V
input with low power consumption and high performance. Y ou can also choose an additional external
