NICE 3100 Series Now Supports ATX Mode and DVI Display

To enhance the remote power management and optimum digital display quality, NEXCOM has modified the NICE 3100 fan-less series to support ATX mode and DVI connection. With the fan-less design, the NICE 3100 series system has a sealed compact yet heavy-duty aluminum enclosure chassis functions as a giant heatsink to keep the system at desired operating temperature . The NICE 3100 series is perfect for compact, reliable, and maintenance-free industrial computing.

The original product design of removing the system fan and vent holes on the chassis eliminates the dust entering into the chassis, and effectively prevents the system failure caused by the dust. Thus, the NICE 3100 series provides great solutions for dusty environment or sealed environment with limited ventilation.

New Product Features


ATX Mode for Remote Power Management

By supporting ATX power mode, the NICE 3100 series is ready for remote power management. For this purpose, the users can wake up, shutdown, or reboot the NICE 3100 series remotely by Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) or Wake on LAN (WOL). With this convenient feature, administrators can remotely manage, update data and software, and maintain the client systems in the field.

In addition, the NICE 3100 series has a convenient external power switch feature that utilizes the Phoenix Contact with 2-pin connector on the rear I/O. This feature is desired when integrating the NICE 3100 series inside of other chassis or behind the wall. You can extend and mount the ATX power switch at appropriate position of the chassis to power on/off the system.

Digital Display Quality with DVI Connection

The NICE 3100 series features both DVI and VGA connectors on the rear I/O for vivid color display in digital quality. The NICE series supports dual independent display while the DVI interface supports up to 1600 x 1200 pixels; it is ideal for large size LCD screens such as Digital Signage and Information Kiosk.

On-board DC-to-DC Power Supply

The NICE 3100 series has an on-board DC to DC power supply designed for a wide range of power input from +12 to +30 VDC. With the capability of accepting variable power input, the NICE 3100 series is suitable to be integrated in various industrial environments.

PCI Expansion Capability

In industrial automation integration, the common situation is to utilize the PCI expansion slots for the equipment controller, motion automation, or device sensor. Each of the models in NICE 3100 series, except the NICE 3100P2 with two reserved PCI slots, has one reserved PCI slot for convenient system expansion to fit most of your industrial environment.
NICE 3100 Series Applications


The NICE 3100 in Building Automation Application

The NICE 3100 fan-less system is ideal for building automation that requires extreme reliability and versatile I/O configuration. The rugged NICE 3100 fan-less computer system is equipped with dual Ethernet ports for Intranet/Internet connections, the ATX power mode to support PXE/WOL, DVI connection for digital video display quality, and four serial ports (3 x RS232, 1 x RS422/485) to connect various control devices and Programmable Logic Control (PLC).

Moreover, the NICE 3100 fan-less system has one PCI port for expansion capability, such as video capture card, equipment controller card, device sensor card, and more.


The NICE 3100P2 in Motion Control Application

In addition to all features from the NICE 3100 system, the new NICE 3100P2 fan-less system has an extended height of aluminum chassis to accommodate two PCI peripherals expansion with ease. The two convenient PCI expansion slots are suitable to integrate motion control card for machine automation and video capture card. The versatile I/O port has diverse connection options to attach various machine sensors and PLCs.

Featuring Intel® 852GM and ICH4 chipsets, the NICE 3100P2 fan-less system supports a wide range of CPUs to provide various processing power for motion control applications and any applications that require two PCI slots expansion capability.


The NICE 3150 in Public Information Application

With an integrated slim type of DVD combo drive and supporting various screen display connection, the NICE 3150 fan-less system has many convenient features to enhance your integrative experience, such as the dual Ethernet ports for convenient downloading and updating with the media servers; the CF supporting of WinCE thin client solution and DVI port for digital video display quality.

For added flexibility, the NICE 3150 fan-less system also has three RS232 ports and one RS232/422/485 port. Featuring Intel® 852GM and ICH4 chipsets, the NICE 3150 fan-less system supports various Intel’s LV/ULV processor with 400 MHz FSB and DDR 200/266 memory up to 2 GB.


The NICE 3120 in Thin Client Application

Focusing on low power thin client solution, the NICE 3120 fan-less system is designed with the AMD Geode™ LX800 processor and CS5536 chipset. The system features internal CF, Mini-PCI, IEEE 1394 Fire Wire, and dual Ethernet. For thin client application, the internal CF is the perfect choice to store the operating system, i.e. Win CE and Win XPE while the Mini-PCI is great for Wi-Fi communication with a reserved antenna mount-hole on the rear I/O.

The NICE 3120 fan-less system can be configured for live video streaming by connecting a web camera through the IEEE 1394 Fire Wire, and mange its network traffic with the build-in Ethernet controller VIA VT6105 that supports flow control, priority queuing, and Virtual LAN features.
