Five Parts in a Fanless Embedded PC

1. Motherboard and Processor

EFIC-2012A comes equipped with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7 SoCs, supporting up to 64GB DDR5 4800MHz memory. With integrated UHD or Iris® Xe graphics and TPM 2.0, it ensures high computing power with strong security and responsiveness.

2. I/O Expansion Board

The system features a removable and customizable I/O board, allowing tailored configuration of ports such as COM, USB, HDMI, LAN, and more—without redesigning the whole system. This is ideal for project-based, industry-specific deployment.

3. Aluminum Alloy Cooling Chassis

A fanless design is made possible by a solid aluminum alloy enclosure that dissipates heat efficiently. The whole shell acts as a heatsink, extending device lifespan and ensuring reliable performance in high-dust or vibration-prone environments.

4. M.2 Expansion Slots

The PC includes multiple M.2 slots supporting WiFi, 4G/5G modules, and high-speed NVMe SSDs. With options like Key-E, Key-B, and Key-M, EFIC-2012A is flexible for wireless communication and data storage expansion.

5. Wide Voltage Power Supply Unit

With 9–36V DC wide input and OVP, OCP, RPP protections, EFIC-2012A is ideal for unstable power environments such as in-vehicle or field deployment. Supports AT and ATX power modes.

Advanced Features of InnoAioT Fanless Embedded PC

• • Ultra-compact industrial design fits into space-constrained environments with mounting flexibility.
• • High-speed DDR5 RAM and up to 2TB NVMe SSD provide excellent system responsiveness.
• • Triple Ethernet ports (up to 3 x 2.5GbE) ensure fast and redundant network communication.
• • Passively cooled and sealed enclosure guarantees dustproof, silent, and maintenance-free operation.
• • Shock and vibration resistance tested per IEC 60068-2-64, suitable for transport and heavy industrial settings.
• • Optional SIM socket and M.2 modules for mobile communication (4G/5G), ideal for edge computing and remote monitoring.

How Does A Fanless Embedded PC Work?

A fanless embedded PC like EFIC-2012A uses a passive thermal dissipation approach instead of active fans. The processor, chipset, and storage generate heat during operation, which is transferred directly to the aluminum chassis via thermal pads. Heat is then dissipated through the external metal surface. Without fans or moving parts, there's no risk of dust blockage or fan failure. This makes it ideal for deployment in dusty workshops, mobile vehicles, or unattended outdoor kiosks. Its embedded design also integrates specific I/O, enabling real-time control, data acquisition, and communication in industrial scenarios.

Six Notices in Operating the Fanless Embedded PC from InnoAioT

To ensure safe and optimal operation of EFIC-2012A, please follow these guidelines:

• • Do not cover the chassis surface; ensure air can flow naturally across the fins for heat dissipation.
• • Before opening the case for maintenance or module expansion, make sure the device is powered off and disconnected.
• • Avoid unplugging cables under operation, especially for communication and power connections.
• • When installing in vehicles or moving machinery, ensure stable mounting to avoid vibration damage.
• • Use the provided 12V/5A power adapter or input a stable 9–36V DC source via the terminal block.
• • Ensure proper grounding to avoid electrostatic discharge and reduce electromagnetic interference.

Differences Between Fanless Embedded PC and Other Embedded PCs

While many embedded systems are equipped with fans and cable-based internals, InnoAioT EFIC-2012A distinguishes itself with several unique advantages:

• • Completely fanless, with passive cooling for silent and maintenance-free operation.
• • Cable-less internal design improves vibration resistance and durability over time.
• • Modular I/O board enables rapid customization—versus traditional fixed-layout boards.
• • Operates reliably in harsh environments with wide temperature and input voltage ranges.
• • Ultra-compact footprint for installation in kiosks, panels, cabinets, or vehicles.

Compared with other embedded PCs, EFIC-2012A offers higher stability, lower noise, and greater expandability, making it ideal for mission-critical, industrial-grade applications.

What is the Fanless Embedded PC Price from InnoAioT?

As with most industrial embedded systems, the price of EFIC-2012A varies based on CPU selection, memory size, SSD capacity, and I/O configuration. In general, prices start from an entry-level configuration with Intel® Core™ i3, 8GB DDR5, and 120GB SSD, and increase with higher-end CPUs (Core™ i5/i7), expanded memory/storage, and wireless communication modules (WiFi/5G).

While EFIC-2012A may carry a higher upfront cost compared to consumer-grade PCs, its long lifespan, maintenance-free design, and industrial durability provide a superior total cost of ownership for business and project use.
