Product Overview

The AMOS-3001 is a fanless and ultra compact embedded system, which supports intensive I/O functions for diversified embedded applications. Based on the VIA Pico-ITX form factor, its innovative design helps to simplify the efforts of embedded system integration. The AMOS-3001 carries a qualified thermal performance design that allows a wide range of operating temperatures — making it suitable for various industrial or embedded applications.

The AMOS-3001 is composed of a few main mechanical parts such as top cover, bottom plate, and front and rear I/O access plates, which brings optimization to the system integration. It comes with a built-in IDE 44-pin Flash disk on module (DOM) slot. The AMOS-3001 also comes with optional support for 2.5” SATA HDD and WiFi module through the storage sub-system expansion chassis kit. The storage chassis kit enables the AMOS-3001 to become a flexible storage and WiFi networking capable embedded system.
