Introduction
The Relio R4 is a solid-state 1U rackmount computer designed for applications requiring high reliability, I/O
expansion, scalable processing and a long product lifecycle. The R4’s fanless and cable-less structure
ensures extensive durability for long-term usage. The R4 differs from traditional industrial computer
systems in that it is built using the PICMG COM Express architecture. Sealevel has partnered with the
leading COM Express module manufacturers to ensure our customers benefit from the best in the industry.
This manual will focus on the higher level features of the R4 computer system.
The R4 is compatible with Basic and Compact form factor Type 6 pin out COM Express modules. COM
Express is a widely supported implementation of Computer on Module (COM) design. The COM Express
architecture reduces the complexity, cost and time required for custom computer system design by
combining the processing, memory, video, Ethernet and USB functionality in a small, highly-integrated
module. COM Express modules install on a carrier board that provides the application specific I/O and
external connectors best suited for the system requirements.
Sealevel COM Express carrier boards leverage the company’s years as a leader in I/O and communication
products to provide carrier board and full system solutions in the fastest time possible. Common I/O
features include serial, analog and digital I/O. Sealevel’s extensive library of proven I/O circuits can be
included as required to meet the specific I/O count, voltage ranges and connector types.

OPTIONAL ITEMS
Depending upon your application, you are likely to find one or more of the following items useful with the
R4. All items can be purchased from our website (www.sealevel.com)or by calling our sales team at
[phone].
DB9 Female to DB9 Male Extension Cable, 72” Length (Item# CA127)
The CA127 is a standard DB9F to DB9M serial extension
cable. Extend a DB9 cable or locate a piece of hardware
where it is needed with this six-foot (72-inch) cable. The
connectors are pinned one-to-one so the cable is
compatible with any device or cable with DB9
connectors. The cable is fully shielded against
interference and the connectors are molded to provide
strain relief. Dual metal thumbscrews secure the cable
connections and prevent accidental disconnection.
DB9 Female to DB25 Male Standard RS-232 Modem Cable, 72” Length
(Item# CA177)
The CA177 is a standard AT-style RS-232 modem cable
with a DB9 female connector on one end and a DB25
male connector on the other end. Simply connect the
DB9 female connector to the DB9 serial port on the R4,
and then connect the DB25 male connector to your
RS232 serial modem or other compatible RS-232 serial
device. The six foot cable is fully shielded with dual
thumbscrews at each connector. The molded connectors
integrate strain relief to prevent damage to the cable or
connectors. All DB9 modem control signals are
implemented and the cable is pinned to EIA-232
standards.
Terminal Blocks
DB9 Female to 9 Screw Terminal Block (Item# TB05)
The TB05 terminal block breaks out a DB9 connector to
9 screw terminals to simplify field wiring of serial
connections. It is ideal for RS-422 and RS-485 networks,
yet it will work with any DB9 serial connection, including
RS-232. The TB05 includes holes for board or panel
mounting. The TB05 is designed to connect directly to
the R4 DB9 serial ports or any cable with a DB9M
connector.

DB9 Female to 5 Screw Terminal Block (RS-485) (Item# TB34)
The TB34 terminal block adapter offers a simple solution
for connecting RS485 field wiring to the R4’s serial port
3. The terminal block is compatible with 2-wire and
4wire RS485 networks. A pair of thumbscrews secures
the adapter to the DB9 male connector and prevents
accidental disconnection.

R43008 IB-i3-3217UE -40 - 50 °C Requires Industrial Temperature SSD
R47008 IB-i7-3517UE -40 - 50 °C Requires Industrial Temperature SSD
The R47004 and R47008 can operate with no airflow at 50 °C as long as the steady-state CPU usage does
not exceed 50%. If CPU usage is sustained at a workload greater than 50%, the CPU will throttle itself back
to keep its internal temperature in a safe range.
If the application environment requires the computer to operate at 50 °C with steady state CPU usage
greater than 50%, some additional cooling must be used to ensure safe operation of the electronics.
1Operating temperature is dependent on particular model. See the Operating Temperature Range section
for model capabilities.
