Fanless embedded system features front-facing I/O connectors

Two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets support up to 16 GB DDR3-1333/1600 system memory in maximum. To fulfill different application needs, the compact industrial PC provides two flexible PCI/PCIe expansion slots with two different combinations: one PCIe x1 and one PCIe x4 or one PCIe x4 and one PCI. Its DVI-I output on the front panel allows user to directly connect to a LCD panel and four COM ports and a DIO are provided for general industrial control. This all-in-one barebone system also has two easy-to-install 2.5” SATA HDD drive bays with RAID 0/1, and supports Intel Active Management Technology 9.0 (AMT 9.0) to enhance overall device manageability.

The IPC932-230-FL adopts flexible open-architecture design for easy maintenance and simple upgrade. The system supports a wide range DC power input, 10-30V DC, allowing it to be powered anywhere, no matter if a 12-24V DC source or a 19V DC power adapter is available. It comes with rich I/O connectors including two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, four COM ports, one DVI-I output, one Digital I/O, CFast socket, and audio (Line-in/MIC-out).

Janney Lee, Product Manager, Product & Marketing Division, Axiomtek, commented: “Axiomtek’s IPC932-230-FL is a fanless yet rugged box computer that customer can use in harsh environments. It is also an optimised solution for easy-access maintenance through its front-facing I/O design. The high quality industrial PC supports an easy-to-install fan module to dissipate heat generated within the system when high power consumption PCI/PCIe cards are installed. With all electronics well-protected in extremely rugged cold-rolled steel housing, the IP30-rated IPC932-230-FL is ideal for industrial automation, kiosk/POI, digital signage, gaming, and DVR.”

The IPC932-230-FL will be available in July, 2014.
