Maximum industrial compatibility and compactness for 24-hour use in an industrial environment

• Maximum processor performance (in maximum configuration) without loss of power (throttling) at ambient temperatures of up to 50 °C
• Distinct product design with new front design and fully-coated, dirt-resistant surfaces
• All-metal housing with high EMC for use in industrial environment
• Suitable for installing in space-saving control cabinets only 500 mm deep
• Dust protection thanks to overpressure ventilation concept with fan on the front and dust filter
• Special hard disk holders and card retainers for protection against vibration and shock

High productivity thanks to faster data processing

• Intel® Core™ processors – with Turbo-Boost, Hyper-Threading and Virtualization technology
• Memory and graphics controller integrated into processor for extraordinary memory and graphics performance
• Maximum performance (e.g. Intel QM57 Express Chipset, DDR3 memory with the support of Dual Channel technology)
• High data transfer rates (e.g. with hardware RAID controller and SAS hard disks, dual Gigabit Ethernet)

Minimization of downtimes thanks to high system availability

• Secure 24-hour operation (high MTBF, variable-speed fan)
• Efficient self-diagnostics (status display for Ethernet and PROFIBUS; alarm indication for fan, temperature, watchdog and hard disks in RAID1/5 configurations, SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor)
• High degree of data security due to RAID1 (mirror disks system) or RAID5 (striping with parity)
• High-performance hardware Raid controller (PCIe x8) with Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection module (optional)
• Rapid identification and replacement of the hard disk in the event of a fault (e.g. front LEDs for HDD alarm in RAID configurations)
• "Hot swap" removable frame in RAID configurations (replacement of hard disk during operation)
• Solid-state drive (SSD) in single level cell (SLC) architecture and ECC memory (optional)
• Redundant power supply with "hot swap" functionality (replacement of power supply module during operation)
• Securing of the replaceable components at the front (e.g. USB software dongle) against unauthorized access by means of a lockable door
• Locked fan cover: Filter mat and front fan can only be replaced when front door is open
• The enclosure cover can only be opened if the front door is open
• Service-friendly device setup (modifications, service)

Cost reductions through high investment security

• Platform with long-term stability and embedded Intel components
• Availability of 3 to 6 years, guaranteed availability of spare parts for 5 years
• System-tested with SIMATIC components
• Certification for worldwide marketing (cULus)
• Support for legacy interfaces (PS/2, COM, LPT)
• Installation compatible for many device generations
• Worldwide service and support

Reduced costs due to time savings for commissioning, operation and servicing

• High degree of flexibility and expandability thanks to integrated interfaces and up to 11 slots (PCI and PCI-Express)
• Preinstalled and activated operating system
• AMT (Intel Active Management Technology) functionality for remote access to IPC (remote maintenance)
• Fast restoration of the delivery status of the HDD thanks to restore DVD
• Low noise output thanks to controlled fan
• Universal implementation as an industrial workstation or server
• PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface and RAID1/5 controller onboard (optional)
• 2 x LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s connections (Gbit LAN with teaming capability)
• Flexible applications in many different positions with telescopic rails or as tower industrial PC
• Remote maintenance with iAMT technology and SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager software
