Product Overview

2
The AMOS- 000 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- 000 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- 000 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- 000 also supports SATA storage devices through the
AMOS- 000-1ZSZA1 storage sub-system chassis expansion kit.
With the expansion kit, users choose to either use a SATA Flash
DOM or a 2.5” SATA HDD. The expansion kit also features
mounting holes for the WLAN kit. The AMOS- 000-1ZSZA1
enables the AMOS- 000 to become a flexible storage and WiFi
networking capable embedded system.
