1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: SAILORPC-12A
NOTE:
IEI recommends Windows XP Embedded preinstalled on a
CompactFlash® card. Cards with Windows XP Embedded are
available from IEI. Contact [email protected] or go to
http://www.ieiworld.com for more information.
The SAILORPC-12A is a waterproof, IP67 compliant panel PC. The SAILORPC-12A can
be submerged to 1 m and peripheral devices can be connected by using the waterproof
M12 connectors on the rear panel.
The SAILORPC-12A is designed for environments with extreme amounts of dust and
water. The waterproof design is not only for wet environments but for any place where a
lot of dust and water can compromise a typical panel PC.
Storage needs are met by installing a SATA hard drive or a CompactFlash® card.
CompactFlash® cards with Windows CE 6.0, Windows XPE or Linux are also available.
