Fanless System with Reliable Thermal Design

The TANK-XM811's thermal design is optimized for better heat conduction using a pin-fin heatsink concept. This enhances two dimensional heat conduction and reduces flow impedance for better heat dissipation in this fan-less system. The overall weight and dimensions are thus reduced, significantly enhancing system reliability in vibration-sensitive applications, such as AGV. Moreover, this innovative thermal design allows the TANK-XM811 to maximize superior performance than those with traditional heatsink consisting of parallel fins.

Advanced High-efficient Fan Kit Releases Extreme
Computing Power

For applications that require a lot of computing power, users can add an external fan for active cooling. This will help maintain high system performance in high temperature environments and under high CPU loads. This design is reliable and prevents dust from getting into the hardware. It is also easy to disassemble and clean.

Eight 2.5GbE PoE+ for Added Device Connectivity

Oftentimes embedded computers are deployed in environments where it is difficult or costly to add power outlets for connected devices. IEI's TANK-XM811 features eight PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) ports. Each port is capable of providing up to 30 watts over a single Ethernet cable to transmit both data and power.

IEI provides an Ethernet daughterboard module that can be easily integrated into the TANK-XM811 through standard PCIe protocols. The PoE+ connectivity allows organizations to power devices such as sensors and cameras through Ethernet ports. It also provides additional Ethernet I/O ports and scalable connectivity for IoT deployments.

Moreover, the 2.5GbE PoE module allows the TANK-XM811 to connect to devices that need intensive bandwidth, like high-resolution cameras. This lets the camera transfer high-resolution video feeds to an embedded system.
