Product Overview

2
The AMOS- 001 is a fanless and ultra compact embedded system,
which supports intensive I/O functions for diversified embedded
applications. Based on the VIA Pico-ITX form factor, its innovative
design helps to simplify the efforts of embedded system
integration. The AMOS- 001 carries a qualified thermal
performance design that allows a wide range of operating
temperatures — making it suitable for various industrial or
embedded applications.
The AMOS- 001 is composed of a few main mechanical parts
such as top cover, bottom plate, and front and rear I/O access
plates, which brings optimization to the system integration. It
comes with a built-in IDE 44-pin Flash disk on module (DOM) slot.
The AMOS- 001 also comes with optional support for 2.5” SATA
HDD and WiFi module through the storage sub-system expansion
chassis kit. The storage chassis kit enables the AMOS- 001 to
become a flexible storage and WiFi networking capable
embedded system.
