The BMX-P820 measures 309 x 185 x 354mm (12.16"x 7.28"x 13.93"), operates in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C with 0.5m/s airflow, stores at -30°C to 70°C, and supports 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) at 40°C.

What is a barebone system and how does it differ from a complete computer?

A barebone system is a partially assembled computer that typically includes the chassis, motherboard, power supply, and cooling system, but lacks components like CPU, RAM, and storage drives. This allows customers to customize these critical components based on their specific requirements while still benefiting from the industrial design and thermal management of the overall system.

What are the advantages of barebone systems in industrial applications?

Barebone systems offer several advantages for industrial applications, including flexibility to configure CPU, memory, and storage according to specific requirements; cost-effectiveness by allowing customers to use existing components or choose based on budget; easier upgrades as technology evolves; and standardized industrial-grade chassis with thermal design optimized for harsh environments.

What operating systems are supported by these barebone systems?

These barebone systems typically support Windows 10, Windows 11, and various Linux distributions, providing flexibility to choose the operating system that best suits the industrial application requirements.

How long is the warranty period for barebone systems?

TSL Automation provides a standard 2-year warranty on all barebone systems, with options for extended warranty coverage. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures under normal operating conditions as specified in the product documentation.

What is the difference between PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 4 in these systems?

PCIe Gen 4 doubles the bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3, from 8 GT/s (gigatransfers per second) to 16 GT/s per lane. This means a PCIe Gen 4 x16 slot provides approximately 32 GB/s of bandwidth compared to 16 GB/s for Gen 3. In industrial computing, this higher bandwidth improves performance for data-intensive applications like machine vision, AI processing, or high-speed data acquisition.

What is the purpose of watchdog timers in these industrial systems?

Watchdog timers are hardware circuits that monitor system operation and trigger a reset if the system hangs or becomes unresponsive. In industrial environments where reliability is critical, watchdog timers help ensure continuous operation by automatically recovering from software failures without human intervention, minimizing downtime in automated processes.

What are the advantages of fanless design in industrial computing?

Fanless design offers several advantages in industrial environments: increased reliability by eliminating moving parts that can fail; improved dust and particulate resistance; silent operation for noise-sensitive environments; reduced maintenance requirements; better protection against vibration and shock; and enhanced longevity in harsh conditions.

What components do I need to purchase separately to complete a barebone system?

To complete a barebone system, you typically need to purchase: a compatible CPU according to the system specifications, memory modules (DDR5 for these systems), storage devices (M.2 SSDs and/or 2.5" drives), and an operating system license. Depending on your application, you might also need wireless modules for the M.2 E-Key slot or expansion cards for the PCIe slot.

How do I install memory in these barebone systems?

To install memory: ensure the system is powered off and unplugged, remove the appropriate access panel, align the notch on the SODIMM module with the socket key, insert at a 45-degree angle, and press down until it clicks into place. For best performance, use matched pairs of memory modules in dual-channel configuration and refer to the specific system manual for supported memory specifications.

What is the proper way to install an M.2 SSD in these systems?

To install an M.2 SSD: power off and unplug the system, access the M.2 slot location, insert the SSD at a 30-degree angle aligning the notch with the socket key, gently press down, and secure with the mounting screw. Be sure to verify the correct length support (2242/2280) and interface type (PCIe/SATA) for your specific M.2 slot before installation.

What power considerations should I be aware of when installing these systems?

When installing these industrial barebone systems, ensure your power source matches the required specifications (either AC input or DC input depending on model), provide adequate surge protection, consider uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for critical applications, ensure proper grounding, and leave sufficient clearance around the system for power connector access and heat dissipation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 is a security chip that provides hardware-based cryptographic functions. In industrial computing, it enhances security by enabling secure boot, protecting encryption keys, ensuring platform integrity, and preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data. This is particularly important for industrial systems that may handle confidential manufacturing data or control critical infrastructure.

If the system doesn't power on: check power connections and ensure the power source is functioning, verify the power button connection, confirm the power supply is working (if applicable), check for any visible damage, ensure components like CPU and memory are properly seated, reset CMOS if possible, and if available, check status LEDs for diagnostic information. If these steps don't resolve the issue, contact technical support.

To diagnose memory issues: check if memory modules are properly seated, try using just one memory module at a time to identify a potentially faulty module, verify you're using compatible memory specifications (speed, type), check for POST codes or beep patterns indicating memory failures, and run memory diagnostic tests through the BIOS or a bootable diagnostic tool. Many memory issues can be resolved by reseating or replacing modules.

If display output isn't working: verify cable connections, check that the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source, try alternative display outputs if available, ensure the system is fully booting (check power LEDs and listen for fan operation), confirm the CPU and graphics hardware is properly functioning, update graphics drivers if possible, and reset BIOS settings to default if necessary.

To resolve Ethernet connectivity issues: check physical cable connections, verify network configuration settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway), ensure Ethernet ports are enabled in BIOS, test with different network cables, check for link LEDs indicating physical connection status, update network adapter drivers, reset network hardware (switches, routers), and disable/enable network interfaces in the operating system to reset connections.
