September 16th, 2015, Brea, California – With
its fanless design, the Giada F301 fulfills the growing industrial and
business demands for robust and reliable mini PCs with noise-free
operation and high performance. The F301 is Giada’s
industry-tailored mini PC that is ideal for the signage market as well
as governmental organizations, public institutions, and transportation
departments. The F301 brings Ultra HD digital video via DP+HDMI powered
by an Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU and high-speed USB3.0 data transfers all
in a silent and highly reliable unattended technology package.
What
allows the small size and near silent operation, yet still bringing the
power, is Intel’s fifth generation Core i5-4200U “Broadwell” processor
offering a new performance level with a 10% CPU improvement and graphics
performance of up to +30% with Intel’s integrated HD Graphics 5500, and
two DisplayPort 1.2 ports with audio support. The fan-less heat sink
and sleek aluminum case keeps things cool, quiet and out of the way.
The
Aluminum chassis was a creative design that gives the perfect radiator
effect even though it is fan-less. What’s more, the thickness is only
35mm, it saves the space to install it in digital signage field and also
very easy to carry and setup in small spaces.
As
a barebones system, it is not hard to customize the machine to be your
ideal mini-pc. All that is needed is to unscrew 2 screws, and then pull
out the shelf. The F301 contains plenty of I/O ports to cater to various
needs. With 2 DP ports, it supports up to 4 ultra-HD mosaic screens
with max resolution 3200x2000. Meanwhile, it sets aside 3 cables to make
3G, Wi-Fi and Blue-Tooth available.
Not
only that, Giada has applied newly designed JAHC technology in the
F301. JAHC - JEHE Active Hardware Control Technology, which provides
built-in capabilities for unmanned operations such as auto power on when
connected to power, or a scheduled power on /off, IR Remote Control
before the OS is on. These features are almost tailored made for
unattended harsh environments usage such as factories, outdoor info
devices, hotels, and educational and financial institutions and are
easily set up and controlled with the JAHC software that is included.
This
simple DIY barebones system allows 8 GB of 1600MHz DDR3L RAM via a
single memory slot, an expansion card, and a hard drive capacity of your
choice. Expansion is supported via three Mini PCIE slots (full-length
for mSATAⅡ SSD, full-length for PCIE/USB /3G, half-length for PCIe).
It
is small and portable which means that you can keep it unobtrusively
just about anywhere. The aluminum chassis is essentially a corrugated
heat sink and functions as an efficient and silent heat dissipater
because of the large surface area.
The
integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 supports DirectX 11 for gaming. One
display port and one HDMI port provide flexible multi-display feature at
up to 4K video resolution. The
onboard IR module with an infrared sensor on the front panel or through
an IR adapter connected to a 3.5 mm jack can be used to control the
entertainment system via a remote control, which can be bought
separately.
Network
connectivity is provided via a Gigabit Ethernet port, while you can
even add a half-length Mini PCIE Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n card for wireless
connectivity. The system has four Super Speed USB 3.0 ports and two USB
2.0 ports. There are even two Serial ports to connect legacy devices.
The
Giada F301 also caters to business or governmental users with its
integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology, which provides
hardware security for user’s data. The system is also equipped with a
Phoenix EFI BIOS with support for an ACPI interface. The systems are
fully compatible with the majority of popular operating systems
including Microsoft Windows® XP, Windows® 7, Windows® 8, and Linux.
The MSRP for the F301 barebone system with Intel® Core™ i5-5200U is US$424
