1.2 Product description
The ZX2 Station is a low–profile, rack mountable, computing and graphics processing powerhouse.
At only 3.45” (2U) high by 20 inches deep, this compact, lightweight, rugged workstation gives
back valuable rack space and delivers a flexible and high–performance computing solution for
demanding mission–ready applications.
The ZX2 Station integrates the latest computing technology with a system architecture supporting
any of the extended ATX form-factor motherboards with support for up to six rugged hot–
pluggable TP2 removable drives, a slim-line DVD-RW, and an environmental control board to support
proper thermal regulation. User–friendly features include a front accessible power switch, two
front accessible USB ports for rapid connectivity, and a quick release top access cover for ease of
service and hardware installation.
Optimized for rugged conditions, the ZX2 hosts innovative PCI card hold–down brackets that
secure cards in all three axis (X/Y/Z). In addition, the front panel provides a filtered dust door with
a systems status display to quickly monitor the status of the rugged server. Dual redundant
650W AC power supplies insure minimal system down time with fail-over support while
supporting the power requirements of the latest multi-core processors and high-end PCI
express graphics cards.
Z Microsystems’ engineers are experts in the design of systems that reduce the risk, cost and
failure caused by harsh environmental conditions. Designed to exceed MIL-STD 167 for
vibration and MIL-STD 461 for eMI, ZX2 Stations are a robust solution for hostile, field–ready
applications. Other enhanced options such as eMI filtered power supplies with MIL-Circular
connectors, locking security panels, environmental cooling unit (eCU) are available. For more
