CPU-NX1500-VME-A/C (AMD NX1500)

The CPU-NX1500-VME processor board is designed for rugged, conduction and convection cooled environments. It is capable of running most popular operating systems including Windows XP, Linux and QNX. It contains all the interfaces you would normally expect from a PC motherboard plus two compact flash sites, a five port Ethernet switch and a PMC expansion site. For added protection the board also includes a programmable power controller and sequencer.
