MSI has unveiled the MS-C903, a novel industrial-grade mini PC tailored for challenging settings.
The MS-C903 mini PC integrates an effective Intel 11th Gen Tiger Lake-UP3 embedded processor, ensuring noiseless operation due to its fanless passive cooling system, an ideal feature for environments prone to dust or noise. Its sturdy design enables functioning in extreme temperatures spanning from -20°C to 70°C, meeting the IEC 61373 shock and impact resistance standards. The device offers versatile deployment options such as wall mounting, DIN rail, and VESA rack installation.
Scalability and Performance
The system is highly scalable, featuring 2 DDR4 SO-DIMM memory slots and multiple storage slots for increased flexibility. The MS-C903 supports up to 64GB of DDR4 3200 memory through its two DDR4 SO-DIMM memory slots, enabling seamless multitasking. Moreover, it provides three M.2 solid-state drive slots and a 2.5-inch hard drive bay, offering diverse storage solutions.
Connectivity and Productivity
In the connectivity realm, the MS-C903 is equipped with dual RJ45 network ports for dependable wired connections. Users can select from two network configurations: the embedded version with dual Intel I225-LM Gigabit LAN ports or the industrial-grade version with dual Intel I225-IT 2.5G network cards, ensuring faster data transfer. The mini PC also includes various ports like audio interface, USB, serial port, GPIO, and CANbus, supporting a wide array of peripherals. Dual monitor support further boosts productivity.
The MS-C903 is available in embedded and industrial-grade variants, differing in processor choices and operational temperature range. The embedded version showcases Core i3-1115G4E/i5-1145G7E/i7-1185G7E processors and functions within a temperature range of -10°C to 50°C. On the other hand, the industrial-grade variant utilizes Core i3-1115GRE/i5-1145GRE processors, offering a broader operational temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. The dimensions of the MS-C903 are 215 x 155 x 65 mm, weighing 2.24 kg.
Conclusion
The MS-C903 mini PC by MSI represents a robust and versatile computing solution, tailored to meet the demands of harsh environments while providing scalability, connectivity options, and reliable performance.
