Introduction 1
MXC-6000
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Matrix MXC-6000 series provides powerful, fanless, expand-
able embedded computing using the new Intel® Core™ i7-620LE
Processor 2.0 GHz with improved computing performance. The
MXC-6000 continues the exceptional fanless and cable-free
design from the existing Matrix C series.
The MXC-6000 series features an Intel® Core™ i7-620LE Proces-
sor 2.0 GHz and Intel® QM57 chipset to boost performance, mak-
ing it ideal for image and vision measurement and automation
applications. Its PCI and PCIe slots allow integration of
off-the-shelf PCI/PCIe cards to develop a configurable application
platform. The built-in 16 isolated DIO channels are provided for
general industrial control. A DVI-I connector output on the front
panel allows direct connection to an LCD panel, and the
MXC-6000 series also provides one eSATA port to enable expan-
sion of current storage capacity or use of hot-swappable SATA
drives.
Leveraging a reliable fanless and durable cable-free design, the
MXC-6000 series exhibits excellent dependability in harsh envi-
ronments, where severe temperature variation and vibration may
occur. The MXC-6000 series provides an optional hot-pluggable
fan module to dissipate heat generated within the system when
high power consumption PCI/PCIe cards are installed. This inno-
vative mechanical design retains a cable-free structure which dra-
matically improves thermal stability when PCI/PCIe cards are
installed.
The MXC-6000 also provides a USB 2.0 port internally on riser
card. This function provides more reliable usage in security appli-
cations where license keys or password encryption through an
internal USB dongle dramatically improve the security of the
Matrix I/O controller. Combining a reliable design with more com-
puting power and innovative features, the Matrix MXC-6000 series
is the optimal choice on which to base any rugged application sys-
tem.
