Highlights

The GMS P60X "4x4" module from GMS is a breakthrough in Single Board Computer (SBC) technology. The 4x4 family of SBCs provides the user with the same high performance CPU and memory, vast I/O and expandability of a full size SBC yet it is about half the size of a PMC module and it is field upgradeable to fully take advantage of the latest processors from Intel®. The 4 Inch X 4 Inch P60X module is designed to provide the OEM user with an ultra-small footprint SBC for use in embedded control applications where cost, power consumption, I/O configurability and CPU horsepower and expandability are the major goals. These CPU modules may work as stand-alone (Bus-less) or may be connected together using Packet Switch technology via the onboard dual Gigabit Ethernet port, the PCI-X or the PCI buses or be installed on any 3U or 6U VME/CPCI baseboards.
