Industrial servers

Kontron’s 1U mini-format industrial server range, Kiss 1U Short, features a 25% reduced installation depth. Despite the compact format they offer multicore processor performance, two SATA hard disks with optional RAID functionality and two PCI expansion slots for user-specific expansion options.

The servers have an installation height of 44 mm and are 350 mm deep, leaving enough space in the back of the rack for cables and dock-on devices.

The important electronic components, such as the embedded motherboard and the RAID controller, are engineered and manufactured by the company to ensure optimised system performance and reliability.

The server is supplied with the company’s own Mini ITX embedded motherboard, 986LCF-M/mITX and is equipped either with 1.86 GHz Celeron processors or 2.0 GHz or 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo processors.

Up to 4 GB of DDR2 SDRAM also contribute to performance. There are 4 x USB 2.0 interfaces on the front and 3 x Gb ethernet, 4 x USB 2.0 along with serial and VGA interfaces at the rear.

User-specific expansions are via two 32-bit half-size PCI expansion slots. Hard disk access via SATA is fast and, due to the shock-resistant internal 3.5-in slot, it is also secure.

On the front are slots for a 3.5″ hard disk and a slim DVD drive.

The optional Stor Slim RAID 1 subsystem with two hot-swappable 2.5″ hard disks offers additional data security. Connected via one power and one SATA cable it is easily installed. As an alternative to the integrated 80+ AC power supply, a 24 VDC power supply solution can also be used.
