1.1 Introduction
Due to the growing popularity from the IPC market, the newest
Boxer series AEC-6913 has been introduced by AAEON. Being a
control center, the AEC-6913 is suitable for Machine Control, Data
Processing, Fleet Management, Data Management. AEC-6913
equips a high efficiency heat conduction mechanism.
The AEC-6913 is compact in size but has attractive and flexible
extension capabilities such as 4 USB 2.0 ports and 2 USB 3.0 ports,
VGA, Audio, 8 COM ports, and 2 PCI or PCI-E[x1].
Stable Design for Rugged Environment
The AEC-6913 is designed for rugged environments due to the
following reasons; first, it can withstand tough vibration testing up to
3 g rms. With the anti-vibration hard drive device option, the
AEC-6913 can be used in high vibration environments. In addition,
the AEC-6913 offers low power consumption system that while
operating in ambient temperatures ranging from -20° to 65°C with
Intel®Atom™D2550 processor.
The AEC-6913 is a standalone high performance controller
designed for long-life operation and with high reliability. It can
replace traditional methods and become the mainstream
controller for the multimedia entertainment market.
