The development of the P4-A paid particular attention to the low heat loss. This is achieved through the use of the Intel® Atom™ N270 processor with the Intel® 82945GSE chipset and the ICH7M Southbridge. The processor is clocked with 1.6 GHz. The TDP (Thermal Design Power) of the Intel® Atom™ N270 consumes just 2.5 W and so less than 50% of expensive ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processors. The integrated 1 GB main memory can be expanded to maximum 2 GB.
To further reduce the power consumption, the 38 cm (15 inch) Infinity® P4-A panel system uses an LED backlight. This allows the display computer with specified 250 cd/m² to consume up to 20% less power compared with traditional computers. Thanks to the CCFL backlight, the service life at low temperatures is significantly higher than for normal CCFL display solutions. The panel computer also has an energy-efficient power supply. A 115 to 230 VAC power pack is integrated in the system with a 24 VDC power supply available as an option for the user.
The Infinity® P4-A provides an internal mini-PCI express slot and maximum two PCI slots for various plug-in cards. Interfaces such as eight USB 2.0 (two of which on the front panel), two LANs and one audio are accessible from the rear of the computer. The input and control of the panel PC is made using the high-quality ELO touch function. The system already contains a 2.5 hard disk for data storage. In addition, an optional SSD (solid state drive) and a Compact Flash can be installed. The system is designed for operation in the temperature range 0° to +45° C (+50° C with fan). DSM guarantees the long-term availability of the panel system for four years. The computer is subjected to a burn-in test for at least 48 hours and is delivered with a two year guarantee.
