PRESS INFORMATION - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -
Avalue Introduces Newest Embedded System, EPS-910, with Rich Expandability Taipei (TW), April, 2009 – Avalue’s latest released embedded system, the EPS-910, is a well-designed, heat-dissipative and price-competitive industrial-level box PC. The multifunctional features of EPS-910 are said to be tailor-made from our customers’ demands for stability and expandability in performing at point-of-sale (POS)/kiosk systems, as an automation controller or in commercial scenarios. Industrial Level The EPS-910 is based on the Intel® Celeron® M 600MHz with a 512K L2 cache processor. The system memory is DDR2 SDRAM 1GB (up to 2GB). The EPS-910 boasts both the advantages of industrial-level stability and cost-efficiency. The hard disk and memory are relocated closer to the bottom for easier maintenance by only removing four screws. The power connector is set with a cable fixer that makes the power cord reliable. In addition, customers can also select a phoenix-type power connector or an optional, lockable power connector that secures the machine against power outages. The EPS-910 also adopts a wide voltage input from 8Vdc to 36Vdc, increasing its stability while used as an in-vehicle system. True Fanless The true fanless mechanical design makes the EPS-910 a super machine in the heat dissipation factor. Thanks to its thermal solution, the design includes an internal heat-sink onto the processor and external housing consisting of extruded aluminum alloy blades that conduct heat inside out passively and quickly. It is capable of running 24/7 in harsh environments and extremely wide operating temperatures from -15 to 55 degree Celsius. Moreover, its low power design drives a total less than 30 watts of energy consumption. Powerful Expandability The EPS-910 is embedded with an EIPC computing board, which features rich I/O and powerful expandability. The EPS-910 equips SATA, EIDE and an external CF socket for better storage. It accommodates four COM ports, six USB2.0 ports (two in front), two PCI slots (EPS-910P2), one VGA, and two Gigabit Ethernet ports for a faster and more flexible connection. Moreover, the EPS-910 offers line-in / line-out / mic-in audio jacks to ensure high-quality audio features and one 34mm Express Card socket for a variety of extended functions, such as wireless connectivity, video capture or extra storage. Focused on the vertical market, the EPS-910 suits various embedded applications due to its powerful expandability mentioned above. It can be used as a point-of-sale (POS) system, a public advertising machine or as any entry-level
