Using Online Technical Support

Advantech Technology Service HomepageAdvantech's new card-size PC, the CPC-2245, is truly an all-in-one 486 processor-based single board computer. Even though the CPC-2245 is incredibly small (2.5" HDD class, 68 mm x 100 mm), it packs more features than many boards four to eight times its size. Combined with Advantech's Large Biscuit PCs (SBCs the size of 5.25" HDDs) and Small Biscuit PCs (SBCs the size of 3.5" HDDs), the CPC-2245 offers Advantech customers a complete solution for almost any form factor they desire.
