Overview

1

The AMOS-5000 is a fanless and compact chassis kit that
complements the EITX-3000. The AMOS-5000 comes in two
configurations: standard and expanded storage.

The standard AMOS-5000 configuration consists of front and rear
I/O plates and a top cover. The expanded storage configuration
consists of front and rear I/O plates and a compartmentalized
storage section that can support up to two 2.5” disk drives.

The front I/O plate features cutouts for two USB ports, four COM
ports, one GPIO port, one DC-in port, two LED indicators, and one
WLAN antenna.

The rear I/O plate features cutouts for three TRS jacks, one VGA
port, two USB ports, two LVDS ports, one CF slot, two LAN ports,
and one LPT port.
