1.1 Introduction
The AEC-6905 BOXER S Advanced Embedded Control system
continues the BOXER design concept but focuses on the fast
expanding Machine Automation market. The AEC-6905 can
provide 1~2 PC/104+ sockets and PCI slot for expansion.
Therefore AEC-6905’s expandable function, compact size
combined with fanless design and highly efficient heat conduction
mechanism can fulfill any rugged technical application in
industrial automation, factory control, test instrumentation and
safety surveillance.
Outstanding Over-spec Design
Intel’s®popular Celeron M processor with speeds of 600MHz to
1.5GHz combined with fanless design and high performance is
widely acceptable and dependable in this market. USB 2.0,
Ethernet and 4 Serial ports allow communication with diverse
devices with a high transfer rate. Furthermore, theAEC-6905 can
concurrently support three tiers of expansion interfaces – PCI and
PCMCIA. These interfaces are fully integrated within the BOXER
series and allow an upgrade to their usefulness. It is a leading-edge
thermal and vibration design (up to 60 degree operation and 5G
RMS vibration) and also an innovation for Machine Automation in
the IPC industry. AEC-6905 plays a role in connecting all
subsystems in common applications. AAEON not only enhances

your competitive value but also gives you an excellent solution for
the future.
Strict Quality Control Process
AAEON retains the perfect product design and management
team. Our Quality Control through multiple level experience and
test has earned a good reputation in IPC field. AAEON’s whole
product series are subjected to high-level standards which make
them our best guarantee and assurance to customers. Excellent
product quality will always be AAEON’s best advertisement.
24-hour FAE System
AAEON’s e-RMA and e-FAE 24-hour a day systems for all
customers’ prompt request was formally launched in 2005. No
matter if it is a holiday or weekend; we can handle all kinds of
requests and give you a satisfactory response in 10 days.
AAEON is proud of our quick service and professional teamwork
to provide our customers with continual support.
Great design, great value and great service are hallmarks of the
AAEON BOXER embedded control PCs. There really is no other
choice for your application than AAEON if you want the best
performance and best value!
