Die-cast housing
The completely sealed housing protects the system in tough, harsh environments. The die-cast housing also acts as a heat sink, to prevent the system from overheating. The front panel is compliant with IP65 standard.
No ventilation hole
With a heat pipe for ventilation, the system’s MTBF has been extend- ed. With no ventilation holes, the enclosure is completely sealed, thereby protecting the system from dust
Modularized accessories
The power supply, HDD drive and PCMCIA module are easily remov- able for maintenance or exchange. The modularized design allows easier and quicker replacement of accessories.
