1111....Introduction

Overview This product is a BTO industrial computer that is equipped with a CPU Intel® Core i7 4770S processor (3.10GHz), Core i5 4570S (2.9GHz) processor, or Celeron G1820 processor (2.7GHz). The Intel® Q87 chipset with DDR3 memory (4GB, 8GB, or 16GB) provides advanced computing and graphical performance. This product features a variety of interfaces such as 8 USB ports (front: 2, rear: 6), 2 1000BASE-T ports, 1 RS-232 port, and 1 parallel port. This unit is ideal for a wide range of embedded applications such as control devices and information terminals based on general-purpose PC operating systems. 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 an embedded CPU and chipset.

◆◆◆◆Basic performance

・ Equipped with an Intel® Core i7 CPU (*Core i7 model) Embedding a high-performance CPU in the VPC-3000 series enables its low price.

・ Uses the Intel® Q87 chipset Employing an embedded-style chipset with the VPC-3000 series enables its long-term stable supply.

・ Supports mirroring (RAID1) Mirroring enables the construction of redundant systems. [Hardware RAID] Selecting the optional mirror card enables the construction of hardware mirroring. Hot-swapping is

also supported. [Software RAID] Software mirroring can be constructed, but hot-swapping is not supported. ・ Uses a chassis suitable for embedded applications

Taking advantage of our rich experience, we have designed the VPC-3000 series with optimization for heat dissipation, dampening for operating vibrations, and consideration for scalability.

・ Supports high-speed, high-capacity memory The VPC-3000 series supports DDR3 SDRAM DIMM modules (4GB, 8GB, or 16GB) designed for high transfer speeds, flexibly addressing memory-consuming applications such as image processing.

◆◆◆◆Handling precautions

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or in property 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. ・ In the event of failure or abnormality (foul smells or excessive heat generation), unplug the power

cord immediately and contact your retailer. ・ 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 may damage the system.

・ Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

・ Abandon a used battery appropriately according to the instruction of the municipality.

Software RAIDs are not hot-swappable.

If RAID settings are changed, all data on the hard disks will be erased.

Back up necessary data in advance.
