1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: SBOX-100-QM87i Fanless Marine Computer
The SBOX-100-QM87i series is a fanless marine computer with Intel® Core™ i5-4400E
processor and Intel® QM87 Express Chipset. The SBOX-100-QM87i is preinstalled 4 GB
of DDR3 SO-DIMM and can accommodate up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory. Storage in the
system is handled by two 2.5” SATA 6Gb/s SSD bays and the CFast card slot.
In addition, the SBOX-100-QM87i features Intelligent Platform Management Interface 2.0
(IPMI 2.0) that helps lower the overall costs of server management by enabling users to
maximize IT resource, save time and manage multiple systems. The SBOX-100-QM87i
supports IPMI 2.0 through the optional iRIS-2400 module.
The SBOX-100-QM87i has five serial ports, including four RS-232/422/485 serial ports on
the front panel and one RS-232 serial port on the rear panel. The HDMI, DVI-D and VGA
connectors allow the SBOX-100-QM87i to support various display devices. Other slots
and connectors include half-size and full-size PCIe Mini card slots, Gigabit Ethernet,
USB 2.0 ports, USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks (line-in, line-out and mic-in).
