HORUS428A -10GbE SAS RAID x 8 BAYS Core i7 Rackmount Storage Server

 Introduction

The rugged system HORUS428A powered by Intel® Skylake Core i7 6700 (4C x 3.4GHz up to 4.0GHz) which is designed and tested to meet the demand of a military level of ruggedness (MIL-STD-810G) and proven that the system are reliable (Anti-vibration & Shock, wide extended range operating temperature [0℃~50℃]) enough to operate under harsh environments. Also, the abundant I/O gives maximum flexibility on integrations and configurations with a wide variety of subsystems. Moreover, HORUS428A can  build in Areca ARC-1226-8i SAS RAID Card supports up to 8 bays SAS/SSD drives. HORUS428A is a system with outstanding CPU performances, rich and functional I/O, and maximized ruggedness, and certainly improves a quality of all ground, maritime, and aerial operations.

Unique Features

Advanced CPU (Intel® Skylake Core i7 6700)

HORUS428A is applied with one of the newest CPU, Intel® Skylake Core i7-6700 which is a microarchitecture using 14mn as same as its predecessor Broadwell. This 4 core 8 threads CPU runs at 3.4GHz clock speed as an average, yet it is able to process as 8 cores by the 8 threads architecture and accelerates up to 4.0 GHz by Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 during peak loads. As well as the incredible computing performance of Intel® 6th generation CPU.

The Best Thermal Design for the High-end CPU

PERFECTRON is a R&D oriented solution provider specializes in developing ruggedized systems that support high resistance to shock and vibration, and wide range extended operating temperatures from subzero to unusual high temperature. In order to handle the high TDP of Intel® Skylake Core i7 6700 (65W), we apply a special thermal design to HORUS428A called “dual-sides thermal design”. And three different types of thermal modules (copper heat-spreaders, liquid-vapor heat-pipes, aluminum heat-sink) are applied on each side to achieve effective and efficient heat dissipation on both right- and left-sides.

Massive Storage Capacity

The feature of HORUS428A is not only its extraordinary performance, but also abundant I/O interfaces are another key feature of this rugged rackmount server. HORUS428A is equipped with 6 x USB (4 x USB3.0, 2 x USB2.0), 4 x LAN, 1 x display output. Additionally, 8 x massive storages (up to 2TB) are installed as removal SSDs by SAS RAID that can easily be swapped the storages without dismantling the system.

The System Main Board: ATX IMB-AB20

The Backbone of Rugged Server HORUS428A

The system main board AB20 is applied in HORUS428A has been developed by PERFECTRON which specializes in developing both ruggedized embedded boards and systems. This ruggedized ATX motherboard AB20 is powered by Intel® 6th Gen. Skylake ® Core™ i7-6700 processor and supports rugged memory XR-DIMM 64GB DDR4 and abundant I/O interfaces. It is powerful and rugged enough to operate under harsh environments as military uses.
