CONTEC Co., Ltd., a comprehensive manufacturer of PC peripherals, industrial computers, and network equipment, has developed and commenced sales of the BOX-PC 720 Series as a new series of "BOX-PC(R)" embedded computers. The 720 Series is based on a fast CPU supporting high-speed data acquisition and arithmetic applications, equipped with a wealth of communications ports as standard, and enhanced in maintainability of replacement parts with easy unit connection mechanisms.  The "BOX-PC(R)" family has been deployed conventionally in two categories -- the "fanless" 620/630 Series (on sale) and the "fanless and compact" 360 Series (on sale), focusing on control equipment. The 720 series released this time is a new series based on the concept of high performance as a new category focusing on applications which require high-speed processing.  The new product is an embedded computer designed for high-speed processing applications with a CPU of Intel(R) Celeron (R) processor 2.0 GHz (400-MHz FSB), a chipset of Intel 845GV (GMCH) + ICH4, and main memory of PC2100 DDR SDRAM. The product is a compact PC with a high-power CPU while assuring the operating range of ambient temperatures from 0 to 50 degrees centigrade (*1) by adopting its unique radiation mechanism "Duct Cooling System (*)" providing high cooling efficiency and dust resistance.  For expandability, the 720 series comes standard with external interfaces such as five channels of serial ports (RS-232C x 4, RS-422/485 x 1 [inside a RAS connector]), two channels of LAN ports (1000BASE-T x 1, 100BASE-TX x 1), and four channels of USB 2.0 ports. A variety of extensions also include a CF slot (bootable) and two PCI slots.  For maintainability, the 720 series has all of its external interface connectors, including the power inlet and the bracket faces of plugged PCI boards, concentrated on the front panel. The PCI slots are placed in the riser unit structure removable from the system unit, making it easy to plug and unplug PCI boards. For storage devices (such as hard disk drives), the new series employs a slot-in system that facilitates their mounting and demounting. These mechanisms allow you to draw parts in and out of the system unit from the front side, not from lateral directions as with the conventional 360 Series, contributing to the improvement in maintainability.  The 720 Series is equipped with the AC power cable clamp, CF slot bracket, and strong PCI-slot clamp as stoppers, providing security with meticulous care.  Like the conventional BOX-PC series, the 720 Series incorporates handpicked components such as the embedded-computing oriented types of CPU and chipset, proving its long-life design and stable supply for an extended period of time as industrial equipment. *: About the Duct Cooling System This system is a radiation mechanism with high cooling efficiency and dust resistance, using the long-life type (life expectancy of six years (*2)) of fan unit with dust-proof filter on top to directly air-cool the CPU and the left and right ducts to exhaust the isolated air from heat sources while air-cooling the chipset (GMCH side) and the power supply unit. The fan unit can be replaced easily without removing the top cover. *1: The temperature range is for the silicon disk drive mounted model with a Windows OS preinstalled. For the HDD mounted model, the guaranteed operating range of temperatures is 5 to 45 degrees centigrade. *2: The period of time is expected assuming the continuous operation at an ambient temperature of 40 degrees centigrade.
