Introducing the Boingfire BFN5KBU, a robust and versatile computing platform that builds on the success of its predecessor, the BFN4, and sets new standards for performance, reliability, and intelligent power management.
Powerful Processing and Expandable Memory
At its core, the BFN5KBU is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom E3845 processor, clocked at 1.9GHz. This processor balances performance and power efficiency, making it ideal for industrial, commercial, and embedded applications. Paired with DDR3L memory, the system expands to 8 GB, providing ample headroom for multitasking and resource-intensive applications.
Versatile Storage Options
The BFN5KBU offers a variety of storage solutions to meet different needs:
- Onboard eMMC4.5 storage, ideal for fast, low-power applications.
- An mSATA slot for adding high-speed solid-state drives.
- A SATA2 port with a 3.0 Gbps speed for additional storage expansion makes it flexible enough to store large data sets or run heavier applications.
High-Resolution Visual Output
Equipped with an HDMI port, the BFN5KBU delivers sharp and clear visuals, supporting a resolution of 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz. The system ensures high-quality graphics performance, whether used for monitoring systems, media outputs, or visual dashboards.
Superior Connectivity
Connectivity is at the heart of the BFN5KBU, making it a networking powerhouse. It features:
- Four Gigabit Ethernet channels, driven by the Intel i211AT chipset, ensure fast and reliable network connections.
- It has four GbE RJ-45 ports, which allow it to be deployed in networking, industrial automation, or security environments.
Enhanced Environmental Resilience
Designed to operate in a wide range of conditions, the BFN5KBU is built to endure varying humidity and temperature levels, making it highly reliable in both standard and harsh environments. Its fanless design further ensures silent operation and reduces the risk of dust and debris buildup, making it ideal for industrial and commercial settings where reliability is crucial.
Comprehensive Power Management
Power management is another key highlight of the BFN5KBU. It operates with a 12v 5A adapter and similar input power ratings, ensuring efficient power usage across various environments. The system includes advanced safety features like a watchdog timer with adjustable timeouts and reset options for ensuring uptime in critical applications.
The BFN5KBU with Built-in UPS
The BFN5KBU also introduces a model with a built-in UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) designed for deployments where power reliability is a concern. There are three UPS variants, each providing different battery capacities to suit various operational needs:
- BFUPSN5-5K2: 2 x 2600mAh, 21000mWh – offers 20 minutes of backup at full system load.
- BFUPSN5-7K0: 2 x 3500mAh, 29000mWh – provides a longer backup time.
- BFUPSN5-10K: 2 x 5000mAh, 41500mWh – for maximum uptime during power outages.
These UPS models ensure continuous operation during power failures, safeguarding critical data and systems. The battery life is designed to last 4 to 5 years, and in case of power failure, the system sends alerts via COM port 3. The UPS features a 3A rated output current (3.4A peak) and an output power rating of 32W (36W peak). The RSW safety switch is designed for secure transportation by disconnecting the batteries to prevent mishaps, such as short circuits.
Smart Power Management
The BFN5KBU system’s built-in UPS has programmable power management features, allowing users to automate specific tasks during a power failure. Without additional programming, the system can be set to:
- Gracefully shut down when the power source disconnects.
- Automatically power up once the power supply is restored.
This functionality is crucial for industries where uptime is critical, and power interruptions could otherwise lead to operational failures or data loss.
User-Friendly Status Monitoring
The system includes LED indicators on both the front and back, providing clear visibility into the status of the batteries, UPS charge levels, and power operations. This simplifies monitoring for users and administrators, ensuring they are always aware of the system’s health.
Ideal for Critical Deployments
The BFN5KBU is the perfect choice for organizations that require a reliable, scalable, and efficient computing platform. Its powerful processing, flexible storage, robust connectivity, and intelligent power management make it ideal for use in telecommunications, security, industrial automation, and more industries.
Whether deploying the BFN5KBU in remote locations where power may be intermittent or using it in data-intensive environments where constant uptime is essential, this system is built to handle it all. It redefines the reliability standards, ensuring your systems stay operational even when the power doesn’t.
In short, Boingfire’s BFN5KBU is more than just a computing system—it’s a comprehensive solution designed to tackle the challenges of today’s power and connectivity-reliant world.
