APPROVAL FOR PENTIUM 4 AND LOW POWER GEODE SYSTEMS FROM UL
10 August 2004 - Arcom

Arcom today announced the completion of two more products meeting complete UL approvals for system safety. Arcom's popular 300MHz Geode GX1 based SBC-GX1 is supported by a small footprint, industrial compact enclosure providing a CE approved housing for the SBC, expansion for two PC/104 modules and an AC power supply. For high performance applications with both ISAbus and PCI expansion slots, Arcom offers a 19" rack mount Pentium 4 industrial PC.

Both systems have now been fully approved (UL file reference - E203067) for applications requiring UL compliance. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. is an independent, not-for-profit, product-safety testing and certification organization that has tested products for public safety for more than a century.

The APC system product is a rugged 19" chassis (4U high by 450mm deep), which is CE approved to Residential/Commercial emission and Industrial immunity EMC Standards and FCC approved to Part 15 Class B. The APC system is powered by an industrial slot PC which can be fitted with any Intel Socket478 compatible CPU up to 3.06GHz for the Intel Pentium 4 (533MHz FSB) or 2GHz for the Intel Celeron. The standard system is fitted with a 2.8GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, 256Mbytes of DDR memory, 80Gbyte hard drive and a CDRW / DVD ROM drive, along with a 14 slot backplane.

Arcom specializes in the design and manufacture of high quality, cost effective standard and custom system solutions, backed up by a 3 year warranty. Our Design and Build service uses the expertise of the mechanical and electrical design teams to create solutions which meet your precise requirements.
