Introduction

The V2416 Series embedded computers are based on the Intel Atom
N270 x86 processor and feature 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual
LAN ports, and 3 USB 2.0 hosts. In addition, V2416 computers provide
VGA and DVI-I outputs and are compliant with the essential sections of
EN 50155 covering operating temperature, power input voltage, power
surges, ESD, and vibration, which makes them particularly well-suited
for railway and industrial applications.

The CompactFlash socket, SATA connectors, and USB sockets provide
the V2416 computers with further reliability, perfect for industrial
applications that require data buffering and storage expansion. Most
importantly, the V2416 computers come with 2 removable slots for

inserting additional storage media, such as hard disks or SSD drives;
it also supports hot swapping for convenient, fast, and easy storage
expansion. It also provides user-defined programmable LEDs and the
related API for storage management, supporting storage plug/unplug
functionality, automatic storage removal, and storage status display.
Moreover, API Library is provided for easy development and storage
capacity notification.

V2416 series computers come pre-installed with a choice of Linux or
Windows Embedded Standard 2009, to provide programmers with
a familiar environment in which to develop sophisticated, bug-free
application software at a low cost.
