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

1 Introduction
POC-40 is an extremely compact fanless controller with dimensions measuring just
52 x 89 x 112 mm.It features Elkhart Lake Atom®processor that is designed for
space-restricted industrial applications such as edge computing or data collection.
The new Intel® Elkhart lakeAtom® x6211E
dual-core processor utilizes 10 nm process
technology, which delivers 1.7x the
performance of its previous generation. In
comparison to POC-200, POC-40 provides
similar computing performance at only 1/2 the
size. Built for industrial applications, it features
rich I/O ports such as two Gigabit Ethernet
LAN ports, four USB 3.1 Gen1/ 2.0 ports and
integrated 4-ch isolated digital inputs/ outputs
so you can connect general sensors or
cameras for machine vision purposes.
POC-40 also has up to four COM ports for
generic device communication. Wireless
connectivity is essential for the modern mobile
gateway, and POC-40 provides M.2 E key for full bandwidth WiFi 5/ WiFi 6 and B key
for 4G/ 5G module facilitating long-distance data transmission and allowing real-time
communication.
With a similar form factor as a traditional PICO-ITX, Neousys’ POC-40 is perfect for
projects that require above par performance in an extremely compact package.
POC-40 is a low power consumption, lightweight fanless design system that offers
wide temperature operation capability to suit harsh outdoor environments. It is the
ideal platform for outdoors as a mobile or industrial gateway.
