Kontron’s latest model in its KISS (Kontron Industrial Silent Server) line of industrial servers, the Model 4U KTC5520 is a “highly robust and long-term available open standard platform” based on an Extended ATX motherboard with one or two Intel Xeon 5500 or 5600 Series microprocessors and up to 48 Gbytes of DDR3 ECC registered SDRAM per processor. It will be available in the U.S. in September.

The server motherboard provides one x16 and one x4 PCI Express link, three x8 PCI Express 2.0 links, and a PCI bus, plus two Gbit Ethernet ports, six USB 2.0 ports, one RS232 serial port, six SATA ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality and a serial digital video interface for DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. Four storage slots are provided.

Kontron says the server, which runs Red Hat Linux or Windows Server 2008, operates reliably under harsh environmental conditions and has an operating temp range of 0° to 50°C. It’s IPMI 2.0 compliant for remote management using IPMI over LAN and it provides an OS-independent, cross-platform interface for monitoring the system temperature, voltage and fan status, among other items.
