VARIA Group – PC Engines APU3E4-Bundle – Board, power supply, memory, housing, aluminium

This board version is intended for applications that require 2x 3G/LTE modems. SIM sockets can be swapped under GPIO control, allowing failover between two different networks even if only one modem is used. Another feature is the build option for a regular PCI Express slot on the side.

The bundle includes:

– APU3E4 system board

– 12 V, 2 A power supply

– Housing (colour: silver)

– Memory: 16 GB mSATA SSD module

– CPU: AMD Embedded G Series GX-412TC, 1 GHz Quad Jaguar core with 64 bit and AES-NI support, 32K data + 32K instruction cache per core, shared 2 MB L2 cache

– DRAM: 4 GB DDR3-1333 DRAM

– Memory: boot from SD card (internal sdhci controller), external via USB or m-SATA SSD, 1x SATA + power connector, mSATA is shared with miniPCI express

– 12 V DC, approx. 6 to 12 W depending on the CPU load, power plug = 2.5 mm, centre positive

– Connectivity: 3x Gigabit Ethernet channels (Intel i211 NIC)

– I/O: DB9 serial port, 2x USB 3.0 external + 4x USB 2.0 internal, 3x front panel LEDs, button

– Expansion: 3x miniPCI express (J14 USB or mSATA, with SIM; J15 USB only, with SIM; J16: full miniPCI express, but no SIM, intended for Wi-Fi), GPIO header, – optional I2C bus, COM2 (3.3V RXD/TXD)

– Board size: 6 x 6 inch (152.4 x 152.4 mm) – like apu1d, alix2d13 and wrap1e

– Firmware: coreboot

– Cooling: Conductive cooling from the CPU to the housing with a 3 mm aluminium heat spreader (included)
