About the Product

The VPC-2000 series is a BTO industrial PC that is equipped with either an Intel® Core i7 860 (2.8GHz),
Core i5 660 (3.33GHz), or Pentium G6950 (2.8GHz). The Intel® Q57 chipset with DDR3 memory (2GB or
4GB) provides a system with extreme computing and graphics performance. These products feature a
variety of interfaces, including 8 USB ports (Front: 2, Rear: 6), 2 1000BASE-T ports, 1 RS-232c
port and 1 parallel port. These units are ideal for a wide range of embedded applications, such
as control devices and information terminals based on general-purpose PC OSes. This series provides
carefree use under harsh working conditions such as FA, achieving superb environmental resistance
and a long-term stable supply due to careful selection of parts such as embedded CPUs and chipsets.

This product is available in the following 1 model.

◆Basic performance

・ Intel® Core i7 is installed (※Core i7 Model)

Embedding a high-performance CPU, the VPC-2000 series has achieved lower prices.

・ Intel® Q57 Chipset is adopted

Employing an embedded-style chipset, the VPC-2000 series has achieved a long-term stable supply.

・ It Corresponds to mirroring(RAID1)

The construction of the mirroring becomes possible and the system can be made tedious.

[Software RAID]

It is possible to have software mirroring configuration by employing ICH10DO at the southbridge.

However, it can not hot-swap.

[Hardware RAID]

Because option : Mirror card is choiced, it is possible to have Hardware mirroring configurations.

This can hot-swap.

・ Suitable chassis for embedded applications

Taking advantage of our rich experience, the VPC-2000 series is designed with optimization for
heat dissipation, operating vibration dampening and consideration for scalability.

・ Supports high-speed high-capacity memory

The VPC-2000 series supports DDR3 SDRAM DIMM modules (2GB or 4GB) designed for high-speed
transfer speed, flexibly addressing memory-consuming applications such as image processing.
