The slim profile engine bay can be configured with low power Pentium M and Celeron M technology plus an exhaustive range of memory options.
The media bay can house a 2.5-inch HDD, floppy, Slim CDRW/DVD and second HDD at the same time.

Used with any popular Web browser, InduSoft can remotely manage workstations; monitor, debug, and update software remotely; and access real-time, dynamic graphic screens, trends, alarms, reports, and recipes online.
