PIP8 - Pentium III with 700 MHz and no Fan!
![[PIP8: Pentium III at 700 MHz and still no Fan!]](images/pip/pip8.jpg)
General Description
The PIP8 is a highly integrated and robust Packaged Industrial PC with the low power Pentium III 700 MHz processor out of Intel's Embedded Program. The PIP8 complements the existing PIP Product family (PowerPC and x86) that represents a unique solution for today's demanding industrial needs. PIPs are available in various options and are built into a extreme compact EMI/RFI sealed aluminum chassis. They can be operated under extreme as well as under normal conditions without the need of fans.
A selection of PIP8 Specialities
Among many specialities the extreme low power consumption is extraordinary. Depending on the selection of the OS it is as low as 10 Watt or with the DOS Prompt 17 Watt. Next to standard PC/AT features the PIP8 offers handy characteristics for an industrial environment like:
- Fanless operation
- Integration of HDD, Flash, PC/104, Floppy ...
- Wide temperature range (up to 65°C)
- Long term availability
- Complete family - all in the same housing
- Additional functions easy to add
- Designed and produced in Switzerland
Those features make the PIP8 the ideal and compact solution where high processing power, long availability, low power consumption and high quality is needed. The PIP IPCs are being used in telecom, medicine, vehicles, office, as well as in any industrial applications.

Extended Temperature Option
For deployment in harsh environments, the PIP8 can be ordered in an extended temperature version. Every system needs to pass various tests in a environmental chamber to prove that it will perform flawless over the temperature range indicated.Please note: In order to get a system that will operate under these conditions, all additional selected components like hard disks or extension cards have to be specified or tested for conformity to the extended temperature range.
