A fan-less embedded computer, the BX100n series is built on Intel®s AtomTM N270 processor and 945GSE (including GMA950) chipset. This series offers sufficient performance with low-power consumption, while its space saving design allows to it be installed in a 50mm gap.

This new series of space-saving and eco-friendly Box PCs cut down on running costs and energy consumption. CONTEC has adopted the use of this embedded-style CPU and chipset and utilized readily available components to ensure availability and ease of use of this product. .

HDD Model - BX-100n-DC5xxx-C01

Featuring an enhanced RAS, these models accommodate two 2.5" SATA HDDs that can be configured as RAID 1 / RAID 0 systems. The DC5121version comes with . Windows XP Professional preinstalled on a wide temperature HDD making it ideal for embedding into bulk data servers.

Multifunction I/O Model - BX-100n-DC5XXX-C02

These models have analog I/O, digital I/O and counter input functions equivalent to CONTEC's measurement and control products AIO-163202F-PE, DIO-1616L-PE and CNT-3204MT-LPE. They are suitable for applications that require data collection and control of various sensors and / or devices.
