DuroPC Rackmount Computer Systems can accommodate a high quantity of ISA card slots as well as a large PCI card slot count with PICMG 1.0 back planes. With PICMG 1.3 backplanes, systems can contain, ISA, PCI, PCI-Express x1 and PCI-Express x16 slots. Most systems can accommodate full length expansion cards.

DuroPC 19” Industrial Rack Mount Passive Back Plane computer systems can accommodate a wide variety of Single Board Computers (SBC) including VIA C3, Intel Pentium III, Celeron, Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium M, Celeron D, and Core 2 Duo processors. Ruggedized chassis have options for a variety of power supplies including hot-swap redundant supplies. Chassis features PS/2 keyboard/mouse and USB ports as well as shock mounted disk drives, positive pressure airflow from hot swappable fans and card hold clamps.

DuroPC also offers motherboard versions of 19” industrial, rugged, 1U, 2U, 4U, 5U rack mountable computers. Included in the motherboard category are long life revision controlled ATX motherboards as well as the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) ATX motherboards from Intel, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, SuperMicro. Long life revision controlled motherboards offer a 3-5 year life expectancy. We offer motherboards with ISA slots, PCI slots, PCI-X slots, AGP slots, PCI-Express x1 slots, and PCI-Express x16 slots. Chassis have the same ruggedized, industrial features as the passive backplane / SBC versions.

All rack mount systems are configurable with our 1U rackmount keyboard drawers, 15”/17”/19” rackmount or panel mount LCD’s, or any of our 1U Keyboard, Video and Mouse drawers (KVMs) with and without an 8 port switch. Rack mount and panel mount monitors are available with or without resistive touch screen.

A unique feature of the DuroPC PICMG 1.3 backplane systems is the support for both ISA, PCI, and PCI Express bus structures.  Most other manufacturers only support PCI and PCI Express. If you require systems with supprt for all 3 bus types, DuroPC is the answer.
