PCI-104General Information
Specifications in accordance with the PC/104 committee (also see: http://www.pc104.org/) PC/104 = ISA bus (8 or 16 Bit) PC/104-Plus = ISA bus + PCI-Bus PCI104 = PCI bus (without PC/104)
Microbox PC 427B is equipped with a PCI104 interface PCI104 and PC/104-Plus cards are consistently usable (use of PCI
signals) Old PC104 cards (only ISA bus) are not usable
Up to three PC/104 modules can be integrated With extension frame
Numerous suppliers of basic and special functions No manufacturer offers a full-range portfolio The long-term availability of PC104 modules from
the embedded market bears considerable customer benefits
Typical 3 W power consumption per slot possible
Two "non-shared interrupts" available for high-performance extensions
Optimum EMC connection of interfaces through slot plates on the extension frames

Extension kit PC/104 6AG4070-0BA00-0XA0
6 extension frames, including mounting material and slot plates
1 extension frame (17 mm) required per PC104 module
The basic device's front cover also serves as front-side cover when using the extension frame.
Any interfaces of the PC104 modules are routed to the extension frame‘s slot plates via short cables.

Zero Maintenance
The zero maintenance of the Microbox PC results from the complete abolishment of rotating parts, i.e.: Abolishment of fans and abolishment of a hard disk by focusing on CompactFlash
operation – as far as permitted by the application.
Moreover, a battery is not necessarily required, only if remanent data are to be stored in the SRAM due to: Remanent storage of setup data (settable in BIOS) Time synchronization possible via LAN (via DiagMonitor)
The Microbox PC offers zero maintenance if the hard disk and battery can be done away with!

Why Windows XP embedded?
The bulk memory requirement of Windows XP Professional is too large for a CompactFlash-based system
The license costs of Windows XP embedded are considerably lower than those of Windows XP
Windows XP embedded contains additional features for embedded applications, e.g.: Enhanced write filter:
Activatable write protection for partitions to increase system stability
Message box interception:Configurable output suppression of system and fault messages for unattended systems

Can the customer subsequently install, e.g., Microsoft Word? Yes. For license reasons, the Microsoft Office packages must only be
used application-specifically; no general use (e.g. letter preparation) permissible.
Incl. Service Pack 2 Feature Pack 2007 Latest hot fixes and security patches for increased system reliability Booting of USB bulk memories, e.g. to boot USB flash drives in service
