The VIA AMOS-5210 is a rugged chassis kit, specially designed for VIA
EITX-3000 Em-ITX board stacked with EMIO-3210 Em-IO module. The
chassis kit offers fast and easy assembly. It consists of three parts: front
and rear I/O access plates, and the top cover.

The modularity of AMOS-5210 chassis kit combines with heatsink found
on EMIO-3210 board forming a solid and robust system chassis . And it
gives the developers a wealth of advantages including rich and versatile
I/O configurations through its expansive dual I/O coastline.

A system with the combination of AMOS-5210 chassis kit, EITX-3000
board and EMIO-3210 module can supports up to ten serial ports
(eight RS-232/422/485 ports are configurable in BIOS setup) and two
parallel ports. The combination is ideally suited for Kiosk and industrial
automation embedded applications.
