1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The AVA-5500 Series is a high performance fanless AI-Enabled
Video Analytics Platform equipped with the 6th/7th Gen Intel®
Core™ i7 Processor and integrated NVIDIA Quadro GPGPU mod-
ule. This EN50155 certified AIoT Platform is not only ruggedized
for both wayside and onboard deployment with its wide range DC
input and isolated I/O design, but also provides an ideal edge solu-
tion for real-time video/graphic analysis applications that are vital
to today's increasingly complex railroad operations. The target
applications include but are not limited to:
XPassenger Information Systems
XRailroad Intrusion Detection
XTrain Station Surveillance
XOnboard Video Security
XRailroad Hazard Detection
The AVA-5510 version features an additional 2x USB 2.0 via M12
connectors and 2 additional 2.5" SATA 6.0 Gb/s drive bays.

NOTE:
NOTE:
The MXM module must be installed at the factory. Please contact
your local ADLINK representative for more information.
When an MXM graphics module is installed, the default Primary
Display BIOS setting (Auto) will send bootup display output to
DP3-DP6 (MXM graphics). To send bootup display output to
DP1-DP2 (integrated Intel graphics), go to BIOS setup and
change Advanced > Graphics Configuration > Primary Display to
IGFX (see 5.4.2 Graphics Configuration on p. 49).
NOTE:
NOTE:
M.2 and Mini PCIe modules may require an additional thermal
solution when operated above 60 °C. Please contact your local
ADLINK representative for more information.
