With the implementation of Intel
1.2, Intel VT) technology and ADLINK’s proprietary SEMA (Smart
Embedded Management Agent) tool, the MXE-5400 maximizes
manageability and security for a world of applications. Together
they provide efficient remote monitoring of system activity and
health in real time, system control over a robust secured channel,
and complete fully manageable utilization of system resources.
The MXE-5400 series accommodates rich I/O interfaces in a compact system size, offering versatile connection to a wide range of
applications. Dual mini PCIe slots and USIM socket empower the
MXE-5400 to act as a communications hub for a variety of wireless connections, such as BT/WiFi and 3G. One slot is also configurable to a mini SATA interface, cooperating with internal SATA
storage to deliver RAID 0/1 functionality.
Leveraging proprietary mechanical engineering, the MXE-5400
series continues to offer all the popular features of the Matrix E
series, including cable-free construction, wide operating tempera-
