Product Overview

The AMOS-1000 can be easily expanded to support application specific requirements thorough its stackable sub-system chassis expansion kits (riser chassis and storage chassis). The modularity and expandability of the AMOS-1000 chassis makes it ideally suitable for diversified embedded system applications requiring the combination of high processor performance, expandability, and low costs (such as machine automation, and industrial plant and cabinet integration).

An optional PCI riser card and numerous additional interfaces can be easily installed to the AMOS-1000 chassis through the PCI riser sub-system chassis expansion kit. The storage sub-system chassis expansion kit enables the AMOS-1000 to support up to two additional 2.5” HDD and a slim Optical Disk Drive (ODD). The storage sub-system chassis expansion kit can be mounted to the bottom of the AMOS-1000 chassis.

The AMOS-1000 chassis is built with a DC 120W power board that accepts a wide range of DC power input from 12V to 24V. Developers can also choose to replace the default power board with the optional 1U ATX PSU. The modularity and expandability of the AMOS-1000 chassis and its stackable sub-systems, enables longevity, easy maintenance and serviceability that protects the customer’s investment.
