Effective cooling solution for thermal design
STACKRACK implements unique cooling solution on SR100 to achieve maximum heat dissipation with copper heat spreader, pure copper heat pipe and aluminum heat sink. With the aluminum heat sink enclosure allows dual-sided heat dissipation. We especially adopt the physical property of copper and aluminum, the copper heat spreader touches the heat source - processor and chipset and absorbs the heat rapidly, the heat then transfer to heat pipe; heat pipe is two-phase heat transfer involves the liquid-vapor phase change of a working fluid, the aluminum heat sink dissipates the heat into surrounding air promptly. With the benefits of fanless design, SR100 can ensure high reliability and stability while working under wide range temperature from -40 up to 70°C.
MIL-STD-810G standard designed for shock and vibration
SR100 is designed to meet MIL-STD-810G standard for shock and vibration. MIL-STD-810G standard is considered the upmost principle, which guarantees the system achieves superior quality and stability when operate under extreme harsh environment. We have conducted the test with series of testing procedures for resistance to shock, vibration, dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures. What’s more to make the system more rugged is SR100 designed with EBX form factor and stackable ability. With those two features can provide maximum exceeding solidity when stacking together to prevent loose from vibration. With key components- CPU and SSD soldering on board to enhance the capability of shock and vibration.
Stackable with PCIe/104 & FPE expansion
Known for application ruggedness, reliability, sealing properties, and compactness characteristics, PCIe/104 & FPE connectors are ideal for high-end electronic equipment and use in extreme environment conditions. With easy connect/disconnect and blind mating, SR100 has a functional life greater than 10,000 mating cycles. The PCIe/104 connector on SR100 that specifies standard of SAMTEC Q2™ QMS/QFS series in a three bank (156-pin) orientation for module stacking. SAMTEC designed the QMS/QFS series with a 15.24 mm stack height for top and bottom board stacking. And the Q2™ has triple the wipe of many high-speed mezzanine interconnects making SR100 the best choice for tough environmental conditions.

With processor solder on board would lowerresistance and inductance at the connection enhance effective transmission that could guarantee better and more high frequency performance for the system.
2. Expandable by Extension Storage Module, the SK401
SR100 carries stacking PCIe 104 and FPE expansion slot, which allows the system with optional module connects ability to increase a variety of possibility for device, connects. SR100 can use with stackable storage module SK401. With SK401 storage module stacking on board can additionally support 2x 2.5”SSD or HDD and 2x mSATA. The SK401 supports OS of Win 7, Win XP, Linux, DOS, etc.
3. Wide range DC input from 9V~ 36V
For certain application such like transportation and military always challenge the risk of unstable power that might cause damage to the system. Wide range DC input becomes an indispensable element for those applications. SR100 supports Wide range 9V~ 36V DC-in to protect system from damage caused by sudden surge or peak voltage. This feature guarantees the system increasing migration path flexible and eliminates redesign of existing power architecture.

The rugged MIL-STD compliant system, SR100 is equipped with highly effectively heat conductive and heat convective thermal solutions to meet extended temperature requirements. The heat conductive solutions uses an aluminum flat mass to place in direct contact with the processor and chipset, the heat from chips then transfers it to the case of the system via 8.0 mm copper heat pipes. In addition, the convective thermal solutions introduce airflow directed to move across the surface of a fin style heatsink placed on top of the processor and chipset. This can be done with the aid of an appropriately sized fan placed in top of the fin style heatsink. Alternately, enclosure airflow can be routed to flow across a fin style heatsink.
