Table 1-4: Rated Voltage and Current
WARNING:
The system default power is 120 W. The maximum total power of the
backplane to support expansion cards is 45 W
. The power of the
selected expansion cards cannot
exceed the max. power (45 W),
otherwise, the system may fail.
NOTE:
When using an expansion card with high power consumption
, it is
recommended to install
an external power supply to the 12V power
input connector on the backplane.
The maximum dimensions of the expansion card should be 190 mm in
length and 110 mm in width.
The TANK-870-Q170 provides the most convenient 4-pin internal power connector for
add-on card usage, adding more flexibility to the embedded system in industrial
environment. The internal power connector supports 5V@3A or 12V@3A power supply.
