Industrial Computer has dual hot-swap capabilities.

Press Release Summary:




Nd1200 has 1.2 GHz Pentium III processor with 133 MHz front-side bus, up to 512M of ECC SDRAM, field-replaceable 41G EIDE hard disk drive, and standard PC-compatible I/O. For applications requiring maximum fault-tolerance, it is available with 300W dual hot-swap power supply and RAID-1 controller with dual hot-swap SCSI drives. In case of power supply failure, system automatically switches to backup supply and initiates audible alarm.



Original Press Release:



1.2 GHz Industrial Computer Offers Dual Hot-Swap Power Supply and RAIN-1 Hot-Swap SCSI Drive System



Computer Dynamics, Inc. introduces the Nd1200, a powerful industrial computing platform intended for processor-intensive applications requiring high-reliability. Powered by a 1.2 GHz Pentium III processor with 133 MHz front-side bus for impressive I/O throughput, the Nd1200 offers up to 512M of ECC SDRAM, a field-replaceable 41G EIDE hard disk drive, and all standard PC-compatible I/O, including SXGA compatible video and SoundBlaster-Pro compatible audio. Housed in a rugged 4U size enclosure, the Nd1200 is designed to comply with the IEC68-2-6 specification for vibration and the IEC 68-2-27 specification for shock. With four PCI slots and one PCI/ISA slot for I/O expansion, the Nd1200 is an ideal platform for a variety of industrial control and communications applications.

For applications requiring maximum fault-tolerance, the Nd1200 is available with a 300W dual hot-swap power supply and a RAID-1 Controller with dual hot-swap SCSI drives. In case of power supply failure, the system will automatically switch to the backup supply and initiate an audible alarm, alerting the user of the failure. The RAID-1 option implements data mirroring between the two 10,000 RPM SCSI drives, thereby providing redundancy by duplicating all data from one drive onto the other drive. In the event of a drive failure, no data is lost. A variety of operating systems are available pre-installed, including Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows NT Server and Windows 2000 Server.

Rated to operate from 5 - 40° Celsius, the Nd1200 measures 6.9" x 16.5" x 16.5" (HxWxD) and weighs 30 pounds. The Nd1200 is available with a 19" rack-mount option. Available from stock, systems prices begin at $2595. For more information on the Nd1200 or the company's extensive line of flat display systems, contact Computer Dynamics, 7640 Pelham Road, Greenville, SC, 29615. Phone 864-627-8800; Fax 864-675-0106.
