The ARTiGO-A1100 is an ultra compact embedded system. Its

based on the VIA EPIA-P820 Pico-ITX form factor board and

powered by high performance VIA Nano 1.2 GHz processor. The

ARTiGO-A1100 chassis is designed with dual-sided I/O access

plates for easy integration.

The mechanical parts in the ARTiGO-A1100 consist of a system

chassis, removable top cover and front faceplate. The ARTiGO-

A1100 comes with built-in SATA data and power cables for 2.5”

SATA hard disks. The ARTiGO-A1100 is also available with an

optional SD card reader and WLAN (wireless LAN) module.
