Mini-ITX boards til industriapplikationer

Fujitsu udvider familien af Mini-ITX mainboards med to nye medlemmermed AMD processorer og controllerhub (in english).

Fujitsu add two new Mini-ITX mainboards for industrial use to their product range. Equipped with an AMD A55E Controller Hub, models D3003-S1 and D3003-S2 are both designed for challenging applications at high temperature levels in the fields of automation, medical engineering, kiosks, or digital signage. Mass production of the industrial mainboards started in 2011 at the Fujitsu plant in Augsburg/Germany.

Both extended-lifetime Mini-ITX boards are equipped with an AMD A55E Controller Hub chip set. Model 3003-S1 supports AMD’s low-energy processor FT1 (eOntario) Single-Core T44R (9W), while model D3003-S2 supports AMD FT1 (eOntario) Dual-Core T56N (18W).


The CPU comes with an integrated high-performance ATI graphics controller supporting VGA, DVI, HDMI, and 24-bit Dual Channel LVDS. The fact that an additional LVDS controller even supports 24-bit Dual Channel LVDS allows for operating displays larger than 12’’ at the highest resolution in HD quality, something which is not possible with conventional 18-bit Single Channel LVDS.  

Additional mainboard features are:
-  Dual GbE LAN connection onboard
-  Serial ATA III RAID onboard
-  mSATA socket for Flash storage onboard
-  USB 2.0 onboard
-  8-bit GPIO onboard
-  2x RS232 serial port
-  HD Audio onboard

The second onboard LAN connection supports a wide range of functions with the best possible alignment of components, even for small Mini-ITX mainboards with a small number of extension slots. The mSATA solution offers tremendous advantages over conventional CF cards in terms of data transfer rates. Mounted horizontally on the mainboard with standoffs, it allows assembly of the mainboards in a housing with only one unit of height.  

Several special features guaranteeing the safe operation of the board include the Watchdog. It controls both the operating system and boot process and performs a restart or shutdown in case of problems. The System Management Controller monitors and adjusts temperature levels and cooling fans regardless of which operating system or CPU is used. The System Guard software tool helps with visualising and setting the parameters for the System Management Controller.

Additional Tools, such as LVDS-Settings (for adjusting the Video BIOS to an LVDS panel under the user’s own auspices), SilentFanConfig (for adjusting the cooler fan settings to the customer’s requirements), and CDV Adapt (for flashing customer-specific BIOS parameters without manual adjustment), enhance operating comfort during design-in and system production. All of these features testify to Fujitsu’s comprehensive system competence in the field of industrial mainboards.
 
The Mini-ITX boards are especially aimed at users who require solutions with high computing power at low energy-consumption levels, combined with small form factors and affordable costs.

Designed for a temperature range from 0 to 60 degrees centigrade, the mainboards have an extended lifecycle of up to five years. These specifications make them particularly suitable for continuous operation (24/7) in reliable industrial applications.
