1. Introduction
Can be installed in spaces only 50-mm thick with roughly the same area as a paperback book. It largely
serves downsizing of your equipment, fits any area with the aestheticness kept.
- Slitless/fanless design that reduces maintenance work
This product's spindleless design eliminates the heat dissipating slit and CPU fan and adopts CF card for
the storage. There is no need to worry about the intrusion of dust or foreign objects, and the use of parts
that degrade over time is minimized to facilitate maintenance.
- Remote power management function to reduce operation tasks
Supports system startup by external device over network (Wake-on-LAN), by general purpose input
(power on by GPI), and by modem reception (power on by ring). It encourages significant labor saving in
operation.
- Major types of peripherals are supported with rich interfaces including the two CF card slots
It has a variety of extended interface such as 1000BASE-T x 2, USB2.0 x 5, serial (RS-232C) x 2.
It has two CF card slots (one built into main unit), providing the ability to separate data from the
operating system, as well as the convenience of being able to use one slot for system startup and the other
for maintenance or for taking home system logs or collected data.
- Falling-off prevention tools and fixing clamps provided to avoid trouble caused by disconnected cable
This product stays trouble-free, being equipped with USB removal prevention fitting and cable clamp for
connectors with no locking mechanism, such as USB cable, and with hardware to properly mount and
avoid falling out of CF card.
- Safety design required for embedded applications
Retention of CMOS data by EEPROM allows the system to start up even when the battery has run out.
For Windows Embedded Standard installed model, it is possible to use the EWF*1 function of OS. It is
designed for safety required for embedding purpose, for exam ple, pr ohibiting unwanted writing to the CF
card with EWF function will relieve the concern about the writing limits to the CF card and prevent an
unintentional system alteration.
*1 EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a function specific to Windows Embedded Standard that protects the disk from being actually written
by
redirecting the writing to RAM.
- A wide range of power supplies (10.8 - 31.2VDC) supported
As the product supports a wide range of power (10.8 - 31.2VDC), it can be used in a variety of power
environments. The separately available AC adapter adds support for 100VAC power.
Supported OS
- Windows Embedded Standard 2009
