The high-performance "96M1566L" embedded system from DSM Computer's NanoServer^® E3-COM family is designed for the extended operating temperature range of -10° C to +45° C. This makes the robust, fan-free computer particularly appropriate for mobile applications in the outdoor area, e.g. as communications, metrology or data acquisition system.

The "96M1566L" NanoServer^® E3-COM integrates a mini-ITX baseboard with a computer-on-module that conforms to the COM Express™ standard. This compact module is based on the Intel^® Core™ 2 Duo L7400 processor and the Intel^® 82945GME chip set. The onboard Intel^® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 that ensures an excellent graphic power allows the connection of two independent displays. Furthermore, the COM Express™ module provides unique security functions that protect customer-developed application software from unauthorized accesses.

To satisfy the requirements of industrial applications, a broad palette of interfaces is offered. In addition to the four existing USB 2.0 ports, four additional USB 2.0 interfaces are provided on the baseboard that can be used for external I/O connection if necessary. In addition to the VGA and DVI-D internal graphic interfaces, an LVDS port and a backlight interface for controlling the backlight voltage are provided. Furthermore, two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and, if required, even a wireless LAN 802.11b/g interface are available. As system extension, the NanoServer^® E3-COM is optionally available with two PCI slots or with a PCI and a PCI Express^® x1 slot for short cards. Additional customer-specific connections can be implemented using the integrated I/O Shield.

The compact "96M1566L" embedded system is installed in a high-quality, small 220 x 220 x 110 mm industrial housing that can be supplied in all RAL and NCS colors. The integrated, extremely robust 2.5 inch hard disk (Ultra DMA/33/66/100) with 80 GB capacity is also specially designed for the extended temperature range. Furthermore, the NanoServer^® E3-COM allows up to two compact flash cards to be used as mass storage. This means the operating system and the application data can be physically separated for pure flash-based systems.
