Delivering good computational performance and data communication capabilities for harsh environments, the CPU-1472/74 cards operate without any active cooling (fanless) over standard (0 to +60°C) and extended (-40 to +85°C) operating temperature ranges.

Like other Parvus/Eurotech CPU modules, system DRAM is soldered onboard to enhance shock/vibration resistance. A structural heat spreader plate is integrated on top of each CPU module to dissipate heat from critical components. These x86 CPU modules are compatible with Linux, Windows XP Embedded, and other operating systems.
