is clearly different than any other
computer on the planet. And yet, the
differences extend deeper than just its
incredibly small size or unique shape. In
fact, we started over when it came to
designing the X5A Modular Computer,
an ean effort that gave birth to the Xi3
Computer Architecture. This entirely
new computer standard allowed us to
take the classic motherboard and break
it into three significantly smaller, yet
interconnected boards: the CPU board
and two I/O boards.
Amazingly Adaptable
When joined together in a block-U When joined together in a block-U
shape, these three boards provide
robust computing functionality with a
twist. Specifically, they can be easily
replaced, updated and/or upgraded.
This “building block” approach not only
provides the basis for the term modular
computecomputer, but it also makes it possible
to extend the useful life of the Xi3
Modular Computer to 6, 8, or even 10
years instead of today’s standard of
3-5 years.
Enormously Economical
The result is significantly lower
acquisition costs over time, especially
over a 5- to 10-year period. Additionally,
the X5A Modular Computer only needs
20 Watts* of power to operate, a mere
10% of the electrical requirements of
most completely configured computers.
Such low power needs make the Such low power needs make the X5A
Modular Computer one of the most
eco-friendly or green computers on
Earth. This combination of lower
electricity usage and significantly lower
acquisition costs creates an
incomparably low TCO (Total Cost of
Ownership).
Powerful Performance
Economy does not mean you sacrifice Economy does not mean you sacrifice
performance, however, as the X5A
Modular Computer is powered by a
dual-core AMD processor running at
1.8GHz that launches the latest version
of Windows

in less than 25 seconds. In
fact, the optimized design of the X5A
Modular Computer means that owners Modular Computer means that owners
will see similar, if not improved,
performance when using any x86-based
operating system.
Stylishly Small
The irresistibly small, sleek chassis of
the X5A Modular Computer creates a
tiny, yet eye-catching footprint on any
desktop. You can even swap-out the
original chassis for one of a different
color altogether. The chassis also uses
the patented Xi3 building block
appapproach. This allows the machine to
be easily attached to virtually any
surface, easily mounted in standard
server racks, or embedded within a
variety of larger systems.
