May 22, 2013 - Logic Supply released the LGX AU970 Intel Core Fanless Computer. Designed for demanding industrial applications like high-end automation, data collection and surveillance, the AU970 offers high-performance computing for even the most graphics-intensive applications. It supports up to 16 GB dual-channel 1333 DDR3 memory, and comes equipped with a dual- or quad-core third-generation (Ivy Bridge mobile) Intel Core i3/i5/i7 CPU and QM77 chipset. Third-generation Intel Core processors efficiently deliver top-of-the-line graphics performance while taking up very little space.
A comprehensive array of I/O allows for a wide range of connectivity options, including two eSATA and CFast ports for external storage, a SIM card slot for 3G connectivity in remote deployments, and an 8-bit Digital I/O port. The AU970 has 3 LAN ports (one with Intel iAMT for remote support), 10 USB ports, 4 COM ports and 2 DVI ports for dual independent display. The system has a secure terminal block connector for wide input 9-32V DC power with remote power-switch capability. The system’s heavy-duty heatsink and chassis provide fanless cooling, with a wide operating temperature of -20C to 55C. The fanless design ensures silent operation, as well as reliability in highly dust- and dirt-prone environments.
It also comes equipped with a wall-mounting kit for easy installation. Also available is the LGX AU972 Expandable Computer, which, in addition to the above, offers dual PCI express expansion slots for a variety of additional I/O--from network port additions to COM ports and specialized hard drive hot-swap bays.
“Our goal with the AU970 is to provide a system that supports the most challenging applications in the toughest environments,” said JP Ishaq, Logic Supply Product Manager. “It’s rugged, reliable, and fanless; it’s extremely versatile; and it has plenty of processing power for industrial applications.”
