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
⚫ 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 8tyrofoam in your work area.
⚫ Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before
installation

1 Introduction
POC-700 is Neousys’ next-generation
ultra-compact embedded controller, with a
choice of the latest Intel Alder Lake i3-N305 or
x7425E processor that is capable of delivering
up to 1.3x the CPU performance when
compared to previous POC-500 series.
Neousys POC-700 is powered by Intel’s Alder
Lake i3-N305 featuring 8-core/ 8-thread
processor with 32EUs UHD Graphics or Atom®
x7425E featuring 4-core/ 4-thread with 24EUs
UHD Graphics to support Intel OpenVINO™ for
AI inference capabilities. The systems adopts
DDR5-4800 to offer up to 1.8x the memory
bandwidth over DDR4 to boost overall system
performance. It also has four USB3.2 Gen2, and four GigE PoE+ ports with screw
lock mechanisms to connect and secure industrial cameras for machine vision
applications. Display output wise, there are HDMI and DP video outputs to support
high-definition display devices. As for connections and expansions, POC-700
features isolated DIO for device monitoring/control, M.2 2280 M key for SATA SSD
and a mini-PCIe socket for wireless WiFi, LTE/5G or CAN bus device.
Measuring just 64 x 116 x 176mm, the ultra-compact POC-700 can easily fit into
confined spaces and is a seamless upgrade from POC-500 series with identical
footprint. Benefiting from the performance gains of the latest Intel CPU,
wide-temperature fanless design, and ample interfaces for industrial cameras and
I/Os, POC-700 is perfect for machine vision and smart city applications.
