Description
The Karbon 522 is a rugged, fanless industrial computer engineered for demanding edge environments. It leverages Intel Core Ultra processing, supports wide-temperature operation and automotive power input, and features dual 2.5" hot-swappable storage drives for rapid maintenance and maximum uptime.

Highlights

• Dual hot-swap 2.5" SSD bays
• 6x USB (USB 3.2 Gen 2) and 2x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C)
• 4x 2.5 GbE LAN (Intel I226IT)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 70°C
• Automotive power input with programmable ignition timing (12–48 VDC via 5-pin terminal block)
• Intel Core Ultra processing for enhanced AI capability

Overview
The Karbon 522 supports Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 1 Meteor Lake and Series 2 Arrow Lake options) and is designed for edge AI performance and scalability. The system can support up to 96 GB DDR5 memory (5600 MT/s) and offers multiple robust storage options including M.2 and hot-swap 2.5" drives. The platform can be configured with vPro-capable CPUs for remote management (depending on CPU selection).
