Click2Contact

Advantech has introduced an entry-level 6U CompactPCI blade for more cost-effective control plane processors based on the latest chipsets. To facilitate product continuity in industrial applications, Advantech is addressing the need for simple and economical upgrades which renew and extend the life cycle of successfully deployed OEM equipment while reducing overall power consumption and carbon footprint.

The blade complements the company’s existing blades and supports an Intel Celeron M processor running at 1.86 GHz. It is supplied with 1 GB of soldered DDR2 RAM controlled by an Intel 945 chipset and has onboard PMC and SATA HDD sites, PICMG 2.16 and front panel LAN ports along with hot swap and IPMI support.

The company is also implementing an accompanying upgrade support program to help users faced with difficulties due to forced component end-of-life by current suppliers.

With an emphasis on local expertise and experience, support teams and alliance partners offer on-site consultancy to address driver and software compatibility.
