Introduction
Thank you for choosing the FW-7541. The FW-7541 is
a desktop network communication appliance which is
built on Intel® Pineview™ embedded processor, the next-
generation in the Intel ® Atom™ family.
The FW-7541 is an ideal network system platform. All
electronics are protected in a compact sealed rugged case
for easy installation in customers’ computer facilities, or it
can be used as a stand-alone application situated in your
lab or offices where space is limited and the environment
is harsh.
The FW-7541 can be used as a standalone system, rack
mounted or desktop mounted. The system comes in a
footprint of only 174mmx140mm (6.85” x 5.51”).
The rugged aluminum case not only provides great
protection from EMI, EDS, shock/vibration, cold and heat,
but also passive cooling for quiet fanless operation (Models
C and D are fanless; models A and B are with fans)
The six Gigabit LAN ports with hardware bypass (1 pair)
capability and Mini-PCIe slot coupled with SIM card
connector answer the demand for versatility in networking
applications. It also supports a 2.5” SATA HDD and
CompactFlash for storage. All of the above mentioned are
packed into a small rugged unit (268mmx40mmx145mm)
(10.55”x1.57”x5.71”).
Please refer to the chart below for a summary of the
system’s specifications.
