Introduction
DataLab PC is a new line of compact computers fully compatible with PC standard, but
designed to work in industrial applications, laboratories and schools. They employ low-
power VIA EDEN processors, which enable working without active (fan assisted) cooling
of CPU and chipset. This ensures durability and reliable operation required in industrial
applications. On the other side the compatibility with the PC standard (VIA EDEN proces-
sors are fully compatible with x86 architecture) relatively high performance, rich set of
interfaces, communication capabilities and low price bring numerous advantages.
• Full compatibility with PC standard allows running of numerous operating systems
(Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux), including systems designed for embedded appli-
cations (Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, Embedded Linux).
• Small, compact and robust case protects the computer against mechanical damage
and allows easy manipulation. DataLab PC can be easily mounted on standard DIN
rail.
• Low power consumptions of CPUs (CPU and chipset heat sinks are passive, without
fans) ensures long durability without maintenance.
• High performance and large memory (it is possible to plug 64 MB up to 512 MB or
1 GB memory module to standard DIMM slot) enables running of big and demanding
application.
• Users can choose between standard 2.5" IDE hard drive or Compact Flash (CF) memory
card (it is necessary to use embedded OS like Windows XPe to use CF card instead of
HDD). Ability to work without hard drive adds to the overall reliability of the whole
computer.
• There are DataLab PC variants with standard 230 V/50 Hz AC power supply as well as
DC power supplies.
