TANK-8700-MPHX: Powerful Fanless Industrial Computer of the Next Generation

The robust and reliable TANK-8700-MPHX industrial computer combines high performance, expandability and durability in a compact fanless design. It is designed for deployment in demanding applications where long-term stability, low power consumption and wide connectivity options are required. It is ideal for automation, transportation systems and edge computing, for example.

Performance and architecture

At the heart of the device are modern AMD Ryzen™ 7000/8000 Mobile Series processors – Ryzen™ 5 8645HS, Ryzen™ 7 8845HS and Ryzen™ 9 8945HS – with up to 8 cores, 16 threads and a clock speed of up to 5.2 GHz at a TDP of 45 W. These chips provide high performance while maintaining energy-saving operation, which is ideal for continuous industrial use.
The graphics are based on the AMD RDNA™ 3 architecture, which delivers excellent performance-to-power ratio. It is also suitable for image processing and AI inference applications at the edge of the network.
The memory subsystem consists of 2× DDR5 SO-DIMM 5600 MHz, with a capacity of up to 96 GB (16 GB pre-installed by default). For data storage, there are 2× 2.5″ SATA 6Gb/s slots for SSD or HDD.

Interface and connectivity

The TANK-8700-MPHX model offers extensive connectivity options:

• Network: 2× 2.5GbE (Realtek 8125B) + 1× RJ45 via M.2 IRIS2 module
• USB: 3× USB 3.2 Gen2, 3× USB 2.0, 1× USB 4
• Serial interfaces: 2× RS-422/485 with galvanic isolation, 3× RS-232
• Digital I/O: 8bit (4 inputs / 4 outputs)
• Displays: 1× DisplayPort++, 1× HDMI™, 1× USB 4 – allowing three independent outputs

This range of connectivity ensures compatibility with various peripherals, sensors and camera systems.

Expandability

The computer is designed with an emphasis on modularity expansion. There are three M.2 slots:

• M Key (PCIe Gen4 x2) – for NVMe storage
• A Key (PCIe Gen3 x1, USB 2.0) – for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules
• B Key (PCIe Gen3 x1) – for storage or IEI iRIS2 module enabling remote system management (IPMI 2.0).

Depending on the configuration, two PCIe backplane variants can be selected:

• PCIe Gen4 x8 + Gen3 x4 + Gen3 x1,
• or PCIe Gen4 x8 + Gen3 x4 + PCI.

Thanks to these options, you can add, for example, AI accelerators, control cards or specific communication interfaces. For applications with higher thermal loads, you can optionally add an internal or external fan.

Power and reliability

TANK-8700-MPHX uses a 12–28 V DC power input (via DC jack or terminal block, with ACC mode support). Typical consumption of the model with Ryzen™ 9 is 72W.
Thanks to the robust aluminum chassis (dimensions 254.4 × 205 × 127.2 mm, black-gray design) and passive cooling, reliable operation is guaranteed in the temperature range of –20 °C to +60 °C.
The device meets the military standard MIL-STD-810G 514.6C-1 (vibration 5G/11 ms, 100 shocks per axis) and carries CE and FCC certifications.
The installation is designed as a wall mount.

Operating system support

TANK-8700-MPFX supports the following platforms:

• Windows® 10/11 IoT Enterprise
• Linux®

Typical use

Thanks to its powerful architecture, durable design and wide expansion options, the TANK-8700-MPFX is suitable for:

• production line and machine control,
• image and camera data processing (AI edge computing),
• industrial automation systems,
• transportation and security applications,
• IoT gateways and edge servers for local data processing.

Variants and accessories

The model is available in the following configurations:

• Version 3A – PCIe x1,
• Version 3B – PCI.

Optional accessories include:

• AX210 Wi-Fi module,
• External fan,
• iRIS2-2600 module for remote management,
• TPM 2.0 for increased system security.

TANK-8700-MPHX is a modern, fanless and expandable solution with high performance of AMD Ryzen™ processors, optimized power consumption, advanced RDNA™ 3 graphics and a durable design that meets strict industry standards. It is an ideal choice for industrial automation, edge computing and intelligent transportation systems.
