The small form factor can be easily embedded in cabinets, wall-mounted or placed directly on the desktop, saving a great deal of space. The motherboard measures 14.5×14.7cm with an industrial-grade compact layout, equipped with 2 DDR3L memory slots supporting 4GB/8GB/16GB DDR3L 1333/1600MHz memory. It also has a dual-storage configuration with 1 MSATA3.0 and 1 SATA3.0 slot, supporting a maximum transfer rate of 6Gb/s, which allows free combination of solid-state drives and mechanical hard drives to meet the storage needs of different scenarios.
For system compatibility, the GK1 Series fully supports Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10 and Linux systems. The fully open system design can be personalized debugged according to industry needs, and is compatible with industrial software, cash register systems, medical management systems and other professional programs, completely solving the pain point of single function of closed-system devices. In addition, the body has a wealth of built-in wireless expansion modules: 1 mini PCIE half-length slot for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and 1 full-length slot for 3G/4G modules, combined with an embedded SIM card slot, realizing free switching between wired and wireless dual networks to meet the usage needs of cable-free scenarios.
Core Advantages of EGLOBAL GK1 Series Mini PC
Compared with ordinary mini PCs and traditional desktop computers, the EGLOBAL GK1 Series takes industrial-grade design as its core and creates six irreplaceable core advantages, perfectly adapting to the stringent requirements of commercial and industrial scenarios:
1. Fanless & Silent, Industrial-Grade 24/7 Stable Operation
The GK1 Series adopts a fanless heat dissipation design, abandoning the mechanical wear and noise problems of traditional fans. It relies on the high thermal conductivity of the full aluminum alloy body to achieve natural heat dissipation with zero noise during operation. It is suitable for quiet environments such as offices and clinics, and also avoids fan dust accumulation and malfunctions, making it ideal for long-term closed scenarios such as industrial production lines and cabinets. It can realize 7×24 hours of non-stop stable operation, completely solving the pain points of high-temperature crash and frequent maintenance of traditional devices.
2. Wide Temperature & Humidity Range, Excellent Resistance to Harsh Environments
Tailored for the complex environments of industrial scenarios, the GK1 Series optimizes its adaptability to working conditions, with a working temperature range of -10°C to +60°C and a storage temperature range of -20°C to +80°C, and a relative humidity of 0%~90%@30°C (non-condensing). It is immune to harsh environments such as extreme high and low temperatures and humidity, and can run stably in low-temperature workshops in northern China and humid storage environments in southern China, making it an ideal choice for industrial control and outdoor terminals.
3. Rich Interfaces, High Expandability for Multi-Peripheral Connection
The GK1 Series is equipped with an "all-round" I/O interface configuration, perfectly meeting the multi-peripheral connection needs of commercial and industrial scenarios: 2 Intel i225-V 2.5G high-speed LAN ports ensure the stability and high speed of network transmission; 6 RS232 COM ports (COM1/COM2 can be switched to RS485/422 via BIOS) are compatible with industrial-grade peripherals such as industrial sensors, barcode scanners and printers; 4 USB2.0 + 4 USB3.0 interfaces meet the connection of daily peripherals such as keyboards, mice, mobile hard drives and scanners; VGA + HDMI 1.4 dual display interfaces support synchronous output, which can connect two monitors for multi-screen operation, taking into account office and monitoring needs. In addition, the body is also equipped with a GPIO interface, MIC and SPK audio ports, as well as 2 Kensington lock holes, balancing functional expansion and device anti-theft.
4. Energy Saving & Low Consumption, Reducing Long-Term Use Costs
All models of the GK1 Series adopt low-power processor design with a TDP of only 15W at the lowest and 28W at the highest, combined with 12V DC power supply, which greatly reduces power consumption compared with traditional desktop computers. Calculated by 24-hour operation, the annual electricity cost can be saved by more than 80%, which can effectively reduce the long-term energy cost for scenarios that require batch deployment of devices such as retail stores, enterprises and factories. At the same time, the 100-240V wide voltage input is compatible with the power grid standards of different regions, achieving global universal use without obstacles.
