Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
⚫Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the
system.
⚫Install the system or DIN rail associated with, at a sturdy location
⚫Install the power socket outlet near the system where it is easily accessible
⚫Secure each system module(s) using its retaining screws
⚫Place power cords and other connection cables away from foot traffic. Do not
place items over power cords and make sure they do not rest against data
cables
⚫Shutdown, disconnect all cables from the system and ground yourself before
touching internal modules
⚫Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering the device
⚫Should a module fail, arrange for a replacement as soon as possible to
minimize down-time
⚫By means of a power cord connected to a socket-outlet with earthing
connection
⚫This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Adapter or DC
power source, rated 8-35Vdc, 16A, Tma 70 degree C and 5000m altitude
during operation. If further assistance is required, please contact Neousys
Technology
⚫If the system is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect it from mains
(power socket) to avoid transient over-voltage

Service and Maintenance/ ESD Precautions
Service and Maintenance
⚫ONLY qualified personnel should service the system
⚫Shutdown the system, disconnect the power cord and all other connections
before servicing the system
⚫When replacing/ installing additional components (expansion card, memory
module, etc.), insert them as gently as possible while assuring proper
connector engagement
ESD Precautions
⚫Handle add-on module, motherboard by their retention screws or the module’s
frame/ heat sink. Avoid touching the PCB circuit board or add-on module
connector pins
⚫Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad to discharge static
electricity when installing or maintaining the system
⚫Avoid dust, debris, carpets, plastic, vinyl and styrofoam in your work area.
⚫Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before

1 Introduction
Neousys Technology POC-400 is an ultra-compact fanless embedded
computer for industrial applications. It utilizes the latest Intel®Elkhart Lake
platform Atom®x6425E 4-core CPU that can deliver 1.8x and 2x the
performance improvement for the CPU and GPU respectively, compared to
the previous generation.
In addition to the performance boost, POC-400 features an ultra-compact
design measuring just 56 x 108 x 153 mm, which can easily fit into restricted
spaces. The system comes with a DIN-rail mounting chassis and an
abundance of front-access I/O interfaces. Featuring three 2.5GBASE-T
Ethernet ports with IEEE 802.3 PoE+ capability, they provide higher data
bandwidth for devices such as NBASE-T cameras and is
backward-compatible with 1000/100/10 Mbps Ethernet. It also has two 4K
DisplayPort, 2x USB3.1 Gen1, 2x USB 2.0 and COM ports for general
industrial applications.
Supporting Neousys’ proprietary MezIO™
interface for function expansion, you can add
functions such as isolated DIO, RS-232/422/485,
ignition control and 4G/ 5G by installing a
MezIO™module. Moreover, POC-400 comes
with an internal M.2 E key socket for a Google
TPU or an Intel®Movidius VPU module to
transform it into a lightweight AI inference
platform at the edge.
Combing the new 10nm Atom®CPU, 2.5G
Ethernet ports, PoE+ and ultra-compact enclosure with function expansion
capabilities, Neousys’POC-400 is a compact and yet versatile embedded
controller that can fuel various industrial applications.
