4600 and 4700 Product Transition The 4600 and 4700 series are now shipping. Replace all 3600 and 3700
units before year end.
The 4600 and
4700 series products are available for orders in the online configurator, and
datasheets and product pages are now available on the Xycom website. These new
products may literally be the finest Heavy-Duty industrial PCs on the market
today. With their Intel Mobile Celeron M or Pentium M processors these products
offer superior performance while utilizing less wattage than most industrial
PCs. This makes them ideal for factory automation applications. All 3600 series
products can be directly replaced with a higher performance 4600 series product
in the same package for a comparable price. For this reason it is very easy to
transition your customers to this new product. It is imperative that this
process begin immediately because the 3600 series products will not be shipping
past the end of 2006. In fact the last date for orders of the 3600 and 3700
products (all variations) is December 15, 2006. After that there is no
guarantee of availability and the prices will be raised.
Please note that
MS-DOS, ISA expansion, Windows 9X, and Windows NT are no longer supported on the
4600 and 4700 series products. Xycom has been emphasizing the importance of
transitioning customers away from these older operating systems and
applications. We have also been warning that this will not be supported in the
future. The 4600 and 4700 series marks that end of Xycom supporting these older
alternatives. We have supported this longer than the vast majority of industrial
PC suppliers. Unfortunately this can no longer be supported with current PC
chipsets and devices.
A cut-out compatibility and transition chart is now available on
the CP section of the Xycom website. Contact Xycom Sales manager or
Representative to assist you in this important product transition. They will be
more than happy to assist.(e-mail : webmaster@xycom.co.kr) |
