Overview

This product is a BTO industrial computer that is equipped with a CPU Intel® Core i7 4770S processor (3.10GHz), Core i5 4570S (2.9GHz) processor, or Celeron G1820 processor (2.7GHz). The Intel® Q87 chipset with DDR3 memory (4GB, 8GB, or 16GB) provides advanced computing and graphical performance. This product features a variety of interfaces such as 8 USB ports (front: 2, rear:
6), 2 1000BASE-T ports, 1 RS-232 port, and 1 parallel port. This unit is ideal for a wide range of embedded applications such as control devices and information terminals based on general-purpose PC operating systems. This series provides carefree use under harsh working conditions such as FA, achieving superb environmental resistance and a long-ter m stabl e suppl y due t o carefu l sele ction of parts such as an embedded CPU and chipset.

Basi c p erform ance

Equipped with an Intel® Core i7 CPU (*Core i7 model)
Embedding a high-per for ma nce C PU i n the VPC-3000 series enables its low price.
Uses the Intel® Q87 chipset
Employing an embedded-style chipset with the VPC-3000 series enables its long-term stable
supply.
Supports mirroring (RAID1)
Mirroring enables the construction of redundant systems. [Hard wa r e RAID] Selecting the optional mirror card enables the construction of hardware mirroring. Hot-swapping
is also supported.
[Software RAID] Software mirroring can be constructed, but hot-swapping is not supported.
Uses a chassis suitable for embedded applications
Taking advantage of our rich experience, we have designed the VPC-3000 ser i es wi t h
optimization for heat dissipation, dampening for operating vibrations, and consideration for
scalability.
Supports high-spee d, high-capacity memory
The VPC-3000 seri es supports DDR3 SDR AM DIMM modul es (4GB, 8GB, or 16GB) designed
for high transfer speeds, flexibly addressing memory-consuming applications such as image
processing.

Software RAI D monitoring tool (Raipd Strage Technology)

Matrix Storage Console allows you to monitor the information and status of an existing RAID drive or HDDs comprising a RA ID drive. Furthermore, as necess ary, it allows creating, deleting and reconfiguring of RAID drives.

Rapid Strage Technology Install

When the system is recovered using the bundled recovery CD-ROM, Ra pid Storage Techonology will be installed b y default .

Starting the Rapid storage technology

After installing Rapid Storage Technology, you can l a unch it from “Start Menu” - “Programs”.

Figure 7.8 Making of mirr oring sync hronize
Synchronization by Rapid storage technology cannot be suspended while it is in progress. In addition, you should not turn off the power to the PC while synchronization is in progress. Doing so will cause data loss and data error. If a HDD to be mirroring-configured is not a “Member disk”, you have to set it to be a mirrored drive using the RAID utility or Rapid storage technology.
