MSI Announces MS-9A29 Fanless IPC

MSI, the leading provider of industrial PC, has released a new embedded system to the market. The newly launched MS-9A29 is an ultra compact size fanless embedded system with low-power Intel Atom processor, offering a perfect cool solution for industrial applications. The versatile installation options of wall mounting, display-attaching, and cabinet installation allow the embedded system to be easily integrated in various field sites, especially fits to space-critical application sites. Great flexibility can also be found in this product with its rich networking, storage, and expansion options. Thanks to all the friendly design, the MS-9A29 offers great cost-effectiveness with maximum flexibility and convenience for your future maintenance or expansion.

For mission-critical industrial applications, a cool industrial computer for non-stop operation is always required. Featuring with Intel Atom low-power processor and smart mechanical design, the MS-9A29 offers this kind of calm solution that many industrial applications need. With its small-size housing, the MS-9A29 can be easily integrated in space-critical cabinet, automation control system, or directly attached to LCD monitors using the optional bracket and simply one screwdriver. The flexibility for integration of this small system is achieved with multiple communication options (Gigabit LAN/Serial/WiFi/3G), rich storage media (SATA, mSATA, and Mini-PCIe), and the great expansion possibilities with Mini-PCIe. For on-site monitoring, dual independent displays with VGA and HDMI outputs are supported to ensure error-free operation. All of these well satisfy the diversified yet critical demand from automation control, data communication, digital signage, KIOSK, and more.

Unlike most compact-size embedded systems with fixed case design, the MS-9A29 has a removable bottom cover design that allows users to easily access the mainboard, so that the installation or maintenance of the memory, serial ports, HDD, WiFi, or 3G modules can be quickly done. MSI is the pioneer to design a 3G SIM card holder onboard*, making the system ready for 3G application without the need to redesign an additional SIM card holder for the entire kiosk, digital signage, or automation system.

Almost all of the mini-PCIe 3G add-on cards available on the market are not designed with a SIM card holder. This bothers the system integrator when integrating 3G network to their target system (Kiosk, automation, digital signage, etc.). They have to specifically redesign a SIM card holder to their system.

Key Features:

• Slim and compact size that is perfect for space-critical applications
• Ready-to-attach to LCD monitors with simply one screwdriver and optional bracket
• Intel Atom processor with ultra low power and fanless design, a perfect cool solution for automation
• Support DDR3 SO-DIMM memory up to 4GB
• Dual independent displays with VGA and HDMI outputs
• Dual Gigabit LAN for high-bandwidth communications
• Dual Mini-PCIe for expansion (one with SIM holder), offering more application possibilities
• Versatile options for networking: Gigabit LAN and optional WiFi/3G by Mini-PCIe
• Removable bottom cover design for internal Mini-PCIe (WiFi/3G?), SATA, memory, and serial connection
• Designed with 3G SIM-card holder onboard ready for 3G Mini-PCIe application
• Support mSATA for solid state disk option, offering faster data access and reliable storage
• Two openings on rear panel reserved for 3G/WiFi antennas
• Can be mounted on wall or monitor (with bracket)
