SAN DIEGO, Calif. — September 19, 2007—ACCES I/O Products introduces the NANO I/O Server CD (Core Duo). Announced at the Embedded Systems Conference Boston, this fanless system is one of the smallest embedded systems available featuring an Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz CPU. The system was designed to support an extensive collection of available COTS PC/104 modules and external USB I/O devices. This allows for added versatility and is useful in a wide variety of applications.
The system is housed in a rugged, black anodized aluminum enclosure measuring only 5” wide, 6.25” deep and 3” high. The enclosure offers physical protection for industrial environments and features a bulkhead mounting provision. The unit is quietly powered by an included 12VDC to ATX power supply with no fans. External connections provided include VGA, four USB 2.0 root ports, one RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485-selectable COM ports, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, 10/100 Ethernet and standard PC sound. This tiny system is the first fanless Intel Core Duo to highlight full PC/104, PCI-104 and PC/104-Plus I/O expansion.
The NANO I/O Server CD has almost twice the performance of a 1.8 Pentium M CPU processor commonly used in other small embedded systems but with far less wattage. The NANO sized system is passively cooled but still provides performance equal to more than ten times the benchmark comparison of any other NANO-ITX sized motherboard system. The system internally supports either a laptop SATA or IDE 2.5” hard drive or a Compact Flash card. The small system has room to support up to two PC/104, PCI-104 or PC/104-Plus I/O modules. A removable plate can be customized to bring out customer-specified I/O cables or connectors. Input to the 12VDC ATX power supply is provided by a standard laptop-type plug receptacle so that a standard external AC brick to 12VDC power supply can be used to avoid excess heat within the system.
