DFI EC700-ASL-x7433RE Intel Atom x7433RE Fanless Industrial Computer with OOB and Extended Temperature

Cabinets at roadsides, pump stations and car parks see frost in winter and heat in summer, and nobody wants to drive out to reset a computer. The EC700-ASL-x7433RE is a fanless industrial computer from the DFI EC700-ASL series for those sites, with a quad-core Intel Atom x7433RE rated from -40 °C to 60 °C and DFI Out-of-Band management built in.

The Atom x7433RE runs four Amston Lake cores within a 9 W TDP and supports Intel Time Coordinated Computing (TCC, disabled by default in the BIOS) for time-sensitive control. Memory is 16 GB of LPDDR5 4800 soldered down, with TPM 2.0 on board. Intel UHD Graphics drives up to three displays, and the EC700-ASL-x7433RE runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise or Ubuntu 22.04 with UEFI boot.

Networking is two Intel i226 2.5GbE ports, with TSN available by project, and one Intel i210 GbE port that carries DFI OOB. Serial is two RS-232/422/485 and two RS-232 ports on DB9, with DIO on COM4, so PLCs, scanners and older serial kit connect directly. USB is three USB 3.2 Type-A and one USB-C with DisplayPort alt mode, which joins HDMI and VGA for three displays, plus a combined line-out and mic-in jack. Expansion is an M.2 M key 2242/2280 slot for NVMe or SATA storage, an M.2 B key 3042/3052 slot with SIM for optional 4G/5G and an M.2 E key 2230 slot for optional Wi-Fi. DFI OOB gives remote power on and off, reset and BIOS update over the network, without an OS agent.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on a DC jack. DFI rates the EC700-ASL-x7433RE from -40 °C to 60 °C with 0.2 m/s airflow, with shock and vibration tested to MIL-STD-810G, and lists CE, FCC, RoHS and UKCA compliance. It fixes to a wall, a VESA plate or a DIN rail with optional kits. We supply it configured and tested, with storage, the OS image and any wireless modules fitted before it ships. The EC700-ASL-x7835RE doubles the cores to eight, and the EC700-ADN-x7425E offers the same I/O for sites that stay above -5 °C.
