MSI unveil ultra-compact fanless embedded system

Offering rich networking, storage, and expansion options, the MS-9A29 is highly flexible. Thanks to all the friendly design, the MS-9A29 offers great cost-effectiveness with maximum flexibility and convenience for future maintenance or expansion.

Calm, slim and versatile

A cool industrial computer for non-stop operation is always required for mission-critical industrial applications. Featuring the Intel Atom low-power processor and smart mechanical design, the MS-9A29 offers this kind of calm solution that many industrial applications need. The MS-9A29 features a small-size housing. This enables it to be easily integrated in space-critical cabinet, automation control system, or directly attached to LCD monitors using the optional bracket and simply one screwdriver.

Integration flexibility is achieved with multiple communication options (Gigabit LAN/Serial/WiFi/3G), rich storage media (SATA, mSATA, and Mini-PCIe), and great expansion possibilities with Mini-PCIe. Dual independent displays with VGA and HDMI outputs are supported to ensure error-free operation in on-site monitoring applications. These features make the MS-9A29 embedded system suited for applications including automation control, data communication, digital signage, KIOSK, and more.

Innovatively designed with the user in mind

The MS-9A29 has a removable bottom cover design that allows users to easily access the mainboard, unlike most compact-size embedded systems with fixed case design. This enables the installation or maintenance of the memory, serial ports, HDD, WiFi, or 3G modules to be done quickly. Designed with a 3G SIM card holder onboard, the MS-9A29 is ready for 3G applications without the need to redesign an additional SIM card holder for the entire kiosk, digital signage, or automation system.
