Tower PC can house cards up to 220mm

Capable of housing cards up to 220mm in either PCI and/or PCIe configurations, the Impact-T 400 is available in two versions: the Impact-T 430 and the Impact-T 423. The Impact-T 423 has been optimised for PCI and mPCIe expansion. This unit allows three primary PCI cards to run at PCI standard 2.3 and two mPCIe for modular expansion. The Impact-T 430 offers further PCIe expansion, totalling two, with two PCI lanes. For optimal graphics card usage, both the Impact-T 430 and Impact-T 423 offer PCIe x16 revision 3.0, whilst retaining backwards compatibility with older PCIe revisions.

To enable systems to handle a range of memory intensive applications, the PC can house up to 16GB DDRIII memory. Featuring the Intel Ivy Bridge processor and the QM77 chipset, the device combines high bandwidth SATA III, Intel HD Graphics 4000 and USB 3.0 into a small form factor. Allowing for faster data transfer speeds of up to 6Gb/s, SATA III ensures the data bus bottleneck, which previously hindered data transfer speeds, is now a thing of the past. The Impact-T 400 tower can house two HDD or SSD 2.5” formats, allowing for RAID 1, 0 and JBOD.

The Intel HD Graphics 4000 allows for a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 across a multi display output configuration using DVI-I, DVI-D and HDMI. By converting the DVI-I output to analogue VGA, a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 can be achieved.

Gavin Chalkley, Industrial Computing Product Specialist, Amplicon commented: “The Impact-T 400 offers the same expansion and CPU power in an optimised chassis. With a minimal foot print, the Impact-T 400 will not look out of place in a factory nor an office environment.”
