Introduction
The ANTARES 1U ICE system serves as a high performance, compact 19" rack mount ruggedized PC
system for applications in IT systems, machine control, and kiosk solutions. The ANTARES 1U ICE is
powered by a high performance single board computer designed and manufactured by Eurotech. The
motherboard and system components are designed for long life support with standard CPU options
from the Intel Core i7 620UE 1.06GHz for quiet PCs, the Celeron P4505 1.86GHz and up to powerful
server grade systems fitted with the Intel Core i7 610E 2.53GHz. Non-standard options Intel i7-620LE
2.00GHz, Intel i3-330E 2.13GHz, Intel i5-520E 2.40GHz are available on request.
This ruggedized system has a full compliment of PC features including DVD Multi Writer, dual Ethernet
(supporting 10/100/1000baseT), USB ports, HDMI ports, SD card socket, serial ports and a number of
additional features for creating secure systems, optional VGA/3.5mm Audio ports. The system can
also be fitted with two PCI express add-on cards.
The system is available with options for multiple video outputs, integrated wireless modules (with
location for external antenna) and complete operation from solid-state SD storage cards. Two Mini PCI
Express card sockets are available on the ANTARES Single Board Computer (SBC).
The front panel LCD display can be used for user-defined configuration and control for deeply
‘embedded systems’ which do not have access to a display. For applications in secure locations, the
ANTARES 1U ICE includes an integrated tamper detection switch to monitor and record access to the
system. Please refer to the ANTARES user manual for detailed information about the performance and
operation of the ANTARES SBC.
