EDGE PC Helix 524

GPUexpansionEdge AI

Product Overview
The OnLogic Helix 524 is a fanless industrial computer powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and designed with a PCIe expansion slot to support discrete GPUs and other add‑in cards for edge AI and visualization workloads.

Key Features

• Fanless industrial design for reliable operation in harsh environments
• Intel Core Ultra processing for AI and inference tasks
• PCIe Gen5 x16 (x8 electrical) slot for GPU or FHHL add‑in cards
• Multiple I/O: 6x USB 3.2, 2x Thunderbolt 4, 4x 2.5 GbE LAN

Performance
Equipped with Intel Core Ultra options (Series 1 Meteor Lake, Series 2 compatible), the Helix 524 supports up to 96 GB DDR5, NVMe storage and configurable vPro/AMT remote management. It delivers scalable CPU and memory performance suitable for edge inference, visualization and industrial automation tasks.

Designed for industrial environments
Robust fanless chassis in aluminum extrusion and steel, certified for EMC and multiple regulatory standards (CE, FCC, UL, RoHS, etc.). Mounting options include DIN, wall, VESA and rack; operating range typically 0–50 °C.

Graphics expansion
The PCIe expansion enables installation of low‑profile discrete GPUs (examples: NVIDIA A4000 ADA SFF, NVIDIA A2000 ADA SFF) to accelerate visualization, AI inference at the edge and GPU‑intensive workloads while maintaining a compact, fanless system.
