Rack computer excels at OS recovery

2 April 2014 Computer/Embedded Technology

Moxa’s DA-682A is a 19”/2U embedded rack-mount computer featuring the company’s latest software advance: Smart Recovery, an OS recovery utility with powerful automation features. Built around the latest Intel Celeron/i7 CPU (Sandy Bridge), the system’s modular flexibility aims to meet any industrial system connection requirements.

Smart Recovery is an OS backup and recovery system implemented at the BIOS level, giving the computing system strong protections against software corruption that can cause system slowdowns, instability or operating system crashes. It provides several different modes that encompass all the basic approaches to OS recovery, including manual recoveries; fully automated, machine-initiated recoveries; and remote user-initiated recoveries.

One of the most important features of the DA-682A is its two PCI slots for expansion modules. Moxa provides a variety of communication modules, including an 8-port RS-232/422/485 module and a 4-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN module. Users can also adapt a universal PCI board of their own design to add a wide variety of additional interfaces.

Heat dispatch in the computer has been carefully modelled through extensive in-house testing, guaranteeing that this fanless computer will remain stable and reliable throughout a typical range of industrial temperatures. Moxa backs up each unit with a full three-year warranty.

The DA-682A also comes with one standard VGA output, six Gigabit Ethernet ports, one CompactFlash slot and four USB ports. Standard models come pre-installed with Debian Linux or Windows Embedded Standard 7 operating systems, as well as ready-to-run software that helps make a system programmer’s job easier. The system is available in three different CPU options as well as stripped-down models that allow designers to install the DOM, RAM and operating system of their choice.
