1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

MXE-5400
ADLINK’s new Matrix MXE-5400 series of rugged quad-core fan­less computers, featuring the latest 4th generation Intel i7-4700EQ processors (codename: Haswell), delivers outstanding performance with minimal power consumption. Intel’s Quick Sync Technology and Core IPG equip the MXE-5400 with market lead­ing performance in image/video related applications.
®
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-
