Basic design

• All-metal 19" enclosure (4 U) for high mechanical resilience (vibration/shock) and high EMC
• Prepared for mounting of telescopic rails
• Horizontal and vertical installation is possible, can be used as an industrial tower PC by using the appropriate kit.
• Lockable front door for authorized access (access protection) to swap media at the front, operating controls (Reset, Power), USB interface, front fan and dust filter
• Card retainer for PC modules for safe operation and transport (vibration, shock)
• Opening of the enclosure cover with only one screw and replacement of PC components (e.g. PC cards or HDD) with a single tool
• Front fan and dust filter can be replaced without tools
• Dust protection by means of overpressure ventilation using bearing seated front fan through filter
• 6 slots for installing drives

• Graphics on-board, Intel GMA HD integrated in the processor, up to 2048 x 1536 pixels, 60 Hz, 16-bit colors
• Interfaces:
  
  • 2 x LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interface (RJ45, team capability)
  • 4 x USB 2.0 at the rear, 2 x USB 2.0 at the front (one of which can be used when door is closed), 1 x internal, e.g. for software dongle
  • 2 x PS/2, COM1, COM2, LPT1, DVI-I
  • Audio: Line Out, Mic

Design versions

• Processor:
  
  • Intel Core i7-610E (2C/4T, 2.53 GHz, 4 MB cache, Turbo Boost, VT-d, iAMT, EM64T)
  • Intel Core i5-520E (2C/4T, 2.4 GHz, 3 MB cache, Turbo Boost, VT-d, iAMT, EM64T)
  • Intel Core i3-330E (2C/4T, 2.13 GHz, 3 MB cache, EM64T)
• Main memory configuration
  
  • from 1 GB up to 8 GB, DDR3 1066 SDRAM (configured as dual channel for the highest performance from 2 GB upwards)
  • ECC memory
    Memory information:
    In order to use a memory with more than 4 GB, a 64-bit operating system is required. In configurations with at least 4 GB, the visible memory can be reduced to about 3.5 GB or less (with 32-bit operating systems) and in configurations with 8 GB, the visible memory can be reduced to about 7.5 GB or less.
• Fieldbus onboard:
  
  • PROFIBUS/MPI, CP5611-compatible or PROFINET, 3 x RJ45, CP1616-compatible
• Bus module with only 8 spare slots (7 x PCI, 1 x PCI-Express x16)
• Graphics expansion:
  
  • PCI-Express graphics card x16, (dual head with display port: 2 x VGA or 2 x DVI-D via adapter), 256 MB, up to 2048 x 1536 pixels, 75 Hz, 32-bit colors
  • Adapter cable (DVI-I to VGA) for the onboard graphics interface (1 x VGA) for connecting an analog monitor
• Drives:
• SATA/SAS 3.5" hard disks with NCQ technology or SATA 2.5" solid-state drive:
  
  • Mounted internally on the permanent hard disk support:
  • 1x 250 GB HDD
  • 1x 50 GB SSD (SLC)
