mini-ITX Industrial Mainboard For 24/7 Continuous Service
A new mini-¬ITX mainboard is specifically designed for 24/7 continuous service. The D3243-S from Fujitsu is based on the Intel Q87 Express chipset and supports DDR3 1333/1600 SDRAM memory components as well as the complete range of 4th-generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors with LGA1150 sockets. The mini-ITX mainboard is made from particularly rugged, long-lived components and is designed for industrial embedded applications with operating temperatures between 0° and 60°C. It meets industrial standards concerning CE (EMC and safety), burst, climate, shock, vibration etc. The D3243-S comes with Intel HD Graphics, for example HD4600 is already integrated into the processor. In terms of graphics display, the compact mini¬ITX board supports DVI-I, Dual DP V1.2, and dual-channel 24-bit LVDS for up to three independent displays. Further features already integrated available onboard include PCI Express x16 Gen3 and Mini-PCI Express, 8-bit GPIO and multi-channel audio, a mSATA socket (SATA III) for the embedded operating system, six USB2.0 and two USB3.0 sockets. Furthermore, the D3243-S comes with two sockets for Intel GbE LAN, which also enable teaming of several network cards. The LGA1150 socket has a high degree of scalability, higher performance, lower cost as well as a lower level of capital commitment, which also entails a reduction of inventory risk. Also already integrated onboard, is the Infineon Trusted Platform Module (TPM) V1.2 that enables extensive protection of data and licenses. The D3243-S mainboard also boasts further safeguards against unauthorized access to data, namely the password protection of the BIOS and hard disks, as well as the BIOS functionality EraseDisk, which enables safe erasure of the hard disk. On the other hand, there is the Recovery BIOS function that makes it possible to repair malfunctioning firmware.
soft, Citrix, Oracle and others through virtualization acceleration technology. Portwell's NIP-86020 40GbE dual-port fiber QSFP+ network interface card is designed with scalability, reliability, simplicity and affordability. It is built to deliver outstanding bandwidth capabilities for next-generation Ethernet traffic in high-end appliances.
A new 4U server-grade industrial system is based on the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 product family and delivers a scalable high-performance platform for a wide array of industrial applications. The TRL-40 from Adlink Technology features increased computing power with intelligent manageability by IPMI v2.0, and dedicated PCIe Gen 3 interfaces for up to 3 PCIe x16 VGA cards, making it the optimal solution for automated optical inspection (AOI), digital surveillance, video wall and medical imaging applications. The TRL-40 provides increased performance with the latest Intel Xeon Processor E52600 v2 for peak workloads, significantly improving performance for applications that rely on floating point or vector computations, coupled with dual channel ECC Registered DDR3 1600 MHz memory supporting up to 128 Gbyte in eight DIMM slots. Adlink’s TRL-40 implements a userfriendly web interface through an integrated web-server and web-based KVM, enabling auto record video based on an event trigger. Administrators can easily monitor the system remotely, decreasing maintenance costs through media redirection and out-of-band power management. Featuring multiple I/O expansion, including 4x PCIe x16 Gen3, 1x PCIe x8 Gen3 and 1x PCIe x4 Gen2, the TRL-40 delivers dedicated PCIe Gen3 bandwidth for image data processing, reducing I/O latency by up to 30% and as much as doubling the bandwidth of previous generations. In addition, the TRL-40 is compatible with Adlink’s off-the-shelf frame grabbers, making it ideal for high-end machine vision and video streaming solutions. To ensure storage utilization and data security, the TRL-40 also provides a hardware RAID solution for up to 4 SATA III storage, as well as one mini PCIe form factor expansion slot and bundling with Adlink’s Industrial modules.
