New MiniMorph 19 Chassis Accommodates 3.5 inch, 5.25 inch, EPIC and ETX form factors
SAN DIEGO, CA-October 4, 2004- Kontron, a market leader in embedded computer technology, today announced the introduction of the MiniMorph 19, an industrial-grade, 1U rack chassis designed to accommodate a wide range of small form-factor embedded computing solutions.

Utilizing a changeable base plate and rear panel, the MiniMorph 19 chassis can be configured to use various combinations of embedded boards (3.5", 5.25", EPIC and ETX) and different I/O form factors (PCI, PC/104 and JFLEX).
The MiniMorph 19 chassis features a 180W, auto-ranging power supply with 1U integrated power supply fan, two internal 2.5 inch drive bays, positive pressure cooling using a 24 CFM DC filtered blower, four front access I/O panels and a variety of rear panel configurations for board-mounted SBC connectors, PCI slot and I/O panels.
According to Stephen Newbegin, Embedded Systems Product Manager for Kontron, "The MiniMorph 19 is an outgrowth of Kontron's extensive experience in both embedded computing and industrial rack systems."
