Systemkit Type 12K is an all-new state-of-the-art 19in rack family from Elma.
The system is ideal for system administration and maintenance functions within industrial control, networking, server and other multicomputer applications.
The rugged sheet-steel construction is designed for secure mounting in a standard 19in rack, and enables the keyboard/touchpad and 200cd/m LCD screen to extend smoothly for operation or be concealed behind the space-saving 44mm (1U) panel height.
Despite the compact size of the 600mm deep unit, it offers support for 36bit colour at 1024 x 768 resolution, together with 100MHz video bandwidth, and built-in stereo speakers.
In addition, the universal mains input is rated from 90 to 264V, and optional keyboard languages are available in addition to the standard UK layout, making the system suitable for both domestic and export applications.
With ratings including an operating temperature range of 0-50C, 10-95% relative humidity at 40C and MTBF of 50kh at 25C, the subsystem is suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial requirements including high-availability systems such as rack-mounted servers.
