⚠️ Important Notes
Economical Processor Platform: Based on the Intel® Bay Trail architecture (N2840/J1800/J1900). This platform is designed for basic computing tasks, light office work, and simple embedded control. It is not suitable for CPU-intensive applications or modern multimedia processing.
Configurable Serial Ports: A key feature is that both COM ports can be configured as either RS232 or RS485 (typically via jumpers or BIOS settings). This provides flexibility for connecting to a wide range of industrial devices without needing external converters.
Memory & Storage: Requires DDR3L (1.35V) SO-DIMM memory. The mSATA slot uses the SATA interface (not PCIe). For best value, choose either an mSATA SSD or a 2.5″ SATA SSD/HDD.
Legacy OS Support: Full compatibility with Windows 7 and 8 makes this system an excellent choice for upgrading older equipment or running legacy software that requires these operating systems.
Network Performance: Equipped with Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit Ethernet controllers suitable for general-purpose networking. For applications demanding advanced networking features or maximum stability, consider platforms with Intel NICs.
Use Case Ideal For: This system is perfect for basic digital signage, thin clients, simple data acquisition, kiosks, and legacy system upgrades where cost-effectiveness, silent operation, and basic I/O are the primary requirements.
