DSM Computer: 4U Q57 industrial computer in a short 19-inch housing

With a depth of only 408 mm, the robust 4-U system can also be installed in small switchgear cabinets. When installed in standard-depth switchgear cabinets, more space for the wiring is available behind the 19-inch IPC. A large-area air inlet ensures the optimum cooling of the computer.

The industrial ATX mainboard used in the Infinity® 96M1595 is characterized by its high reliability. It is equipped with high-quality electrolyte capacitors designed for operation at higher temperatures and so ensure a long service life of the system. The ATX boards are available in an unchanged configuration for as long as five years.

The industrial mainboard provides a wide choice of standard interfaces. In addition to the 14 USB 2.0 connections (six internal and eight external) and Dual GigaBit LAN, two PS/2 connections, VGA, DVI-D, audio, optional LPT and two COM (RS232) or optionally four COM (one RS232/RS422/RS485) are available. The board also has SATA interfaces for six SATA II 300 drives (RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 support), IDE for two enhanced IDE drives and one internal CompactFlash socket.

A total of seven slots for short cards are available for system expansions: one PCI Express™ x16, one PCI Express™ x8 (four lanes), one PCI Express™ x1, four PCI slots and one ISA (shared with a PCI slot). The IPC provides two externally accessible 5.25 inch drive bays or, as an option, SATA removable frames, such as for four 2.5-inch drives. All operating elements and drives are protected behind a metal door. The power switch, the reset switch and two USB outputs are located on the front side.
