About the Product

The VPC-2000 series is a BTO industrial PC that is equipped with either an Intel® Core i7 860 (2.8GHz),

Core i5 660 (3.33GHz), or Pentium G6950 (2.8GHz). The Intel® Q57 chipset with DDR3 memory (2GB or

4GB) provides a system with extreme computing and graphics performance. These products feature a

variety of interfaces, including 8 USB ports (Front: 2, Rear: 6), 2 1000BASE-T ports, 1 RS-232c

port and 1 parallel port. These units are ideal for a wide range of embedded applications, such

as control devices and information terminals based on general-purpose PC OSes. This series provides

carefree use under harsh working conditions such as FA, achieving superb environmental resistance

and a long-term stable supply due to careful selection of parts such as embedded CPUs and chipsets.

This product is available in the following 1 model.

◆Basic performance

・

Intel® Core i7 is installed

(※Core i7 Model)

Embedding a high-performance CPU, the VPC-2000 series has achieved lower prices.

・

Intel® Q57 Chipset is adopted

Employing an embedded-style chipset, the VPC-2000 series has achieved a long-term stable supply.

・

It Corresponds to mirroring(RAID1)

The construction of the mirroring becomes possible and the system can be made tedious.

[Software RAID]

It is possible to have software mirroring configuration. However, it can not hot-swap.

[Hardware RAID]

Because option : Mirror card is choiced, it is possible to have Hardware mirroring configurations.

This can hot-swap.

・

Suitable chassis for embedded applications

Taking advantage of our rich experience, the VPC-2000 series is designed with optimization for

heat dissipation, operating vibration dampening and consideration for scalability.

・

Supports high-speed high-capacity memory

The VPC-2000 series supports DDR3 SDRAM DIMM modules (2GB or 4GB) designed for high-speed

transfer speed, flexibly addressing memory-consuming applications such as image processing.

damage.

・ Do not use or store the product in a location exposed to extremely high or low temperature

or susceptible to rapid temperature changes.

Example ・Exposure to direct sun

・In the vicinity of a heat source

・ Do not use the product in extremely humid or dusty locations. It is extremely dangerous to

use the product with its interior penetrated by water or any other fluid or conductive dust.

If the product must be used in such an environment, install it on a dust-proof control panel,

for example.

・ Avoid using or storing the device in locations subject to shock or vibration.

・ Do not use the product in the vicinity of devices that generate strong magnetic force or noise.

Such devices will cause this device to malfunction.

・ Do not use or store the product in the presence of chemicals.

・ To clean, wipe it gently with a soft cloth dampened with either water or mild detergent.

Do not use chemicals or a volatile solvent, such as benzene or thinner, to prevent pealing,

discoloration of the paint, or deterioration of resin.

・ As continuous operation of the equipment may shorten the life of the hard disk drive, use it

in stand-by mode.

・ Be sure to unplug the power cable from a wall outlet before plugging or unplugging a extension

board or any connector.

・ CONTEC reserves the right to refuse to service a product modified by the user.

・ Use an AC cable suitable for your supply voltage and outlet/plug. (The supplied cable is for

125V AC.

・ The hard disk must be replaced when the power of the main unit is off. It is not hot-swappable.

Removing the hard disk during operation may damage the system.

(However, hardware raid is excluded.)

・ Component Life:

(1)Power･････････During continuous operation at 40℃, the assumed life is about four years

(vertical installation). However, it may be shortened due to operating

temperature (high temperatures).

(2)Battery･･･････The internal calendar clock and CMOS RAM are backed by a Lithium primary

battery. The backup time at a temperature of 25°C with the power disconnected

is 10 years or more.

(3)Chassis FAN･･･During operation at 40℃, the assumed life is about six years.

However, it may be shortened due to operating temperature.

* Replacement of expendables is handled as a repair (there will be a charge).

・ To connect with peripherals, use a grounded, shielded cable.

・ Do not use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) with square-wave output, as connecting it
