1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: PPC-FxxA-H81 Panel PC
The PPC-FxxA-H81 is a heavy industrial panel PC with rugged and trendy design which
can be applied in harsh industrial environments and enriches aesthetic experience at the
same time. The PPC-FxxA-H81 not only provides all the features of a PC, but also
combines with resistive/projected capacitive touchscreen for mouse and keyboard free
data input.
With the latest Intel® H81 platform, the PPC-FxxA-H81 offers various CPU choices and
equips with SATA 6Gb/s interface, supporting both SATA HDD and SSD. In addition, the
PPC-FxxA-H81 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 PPC-FxxA-H81 supports IPMI 2.0
through the optional iRIS-2400 module.
The major external device connections include USB 3.0, USB 2.0, serial port, VGA and
HDMI connectors. Furthermore, the PPC-FxxA-H81 has two full-size/half-size PCIe Mini
card slots, allowing installation of a wide variety of PCIe Mini card solutions, such as a
Wi-Fi module and mSATA module.
