MPC-9000 Rugged Moble Computing Portable Workstation

: Features and Benefits
Mobile computing solution in a rugged portable package: The MPC-9000 series portable workstation provides a totally integrated solution for mobile computing applications requiring industrial ruggedness, robustness and flexible configurations that notebook PCs don't offer. The system chassis features a fold-down keyboard and a 17-inch active matrix flat panel display.

The MPC-9000 series supports commercial off-the-shelf PC components. You can select from a wide array of processors and components to assemble a system that meets your needs today, and still have room for expansion and upgrades tomorrow.
Four drive bays supporting optical read/write devices and multiple hard drives: The MPC-9000 portable workstation series has four open drive spaces—two 3.5" and two 5.25" drive bays. They let you configure your own portable computing solution with the features you need.

All drive bays are externally accessible by removing the protective door. You can install fixed or removable data storage devices such as: 3.5" ATA, serial ATA, SCSI hard drives. The 5.25" drive bays lets you install read/write optical disc drives or mobile racks that support hot-plugging and removable hard drives.
Expand system features with PCI and PCI-Express add-on boards: The MPC-9000 supports industry standard motherboards—ATX, Micro-ATX, dual processor server boards, etc. This means the latest server and PC workstation technologies are readily available.

Start with our portable chassis and add your choice of motherboard board and peripheral board. Our standard motherboard includes PCI-Express x16 and x1 slots, ethernet, serial, USB and video interfaces.
Cooling design for single and dual processor systems: To remove heat from the internal components, the MPC-9000 uses a combination of six intake and exhaust fans.

An air duct located directly over the processor provides a direct path for the warm air generated by the CPU to the exhaust area. Click here for enlarged view.
