Who the EPC-107A configuration is for
The EPC-107A is the second Celeron configuration of CESIPC’s EPC-10XA fanless embedded industrial PC. It uses an Intel Celeron J6412 quad-core processor (2.0–2.6 GHz, 10 W TDP) — two generations newer than the J1900 — with 8 GB of DDR4 memory expandable to 16 GB and a 128 GB SSD, inside the same 229 × 160 × 47 mm chassis as the rest of the series.
Choose it over the EPC-106A when the project needs more running memory or a bigger system volume: 16 GB of DDR4 instead of 8 GB of DDR3L, and two USB 3.0 ports instead of one. Standard storage is the same 128 GB SSD on both. That is what lets one box run a heavier gateway application, a local buffer or a small historian alongside the machine interface.
It carries four USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports. The two USB 3.0 ports matter when the box has to read a fast USB stick or an external SSD during commissioning, while the four USB 2.0 ports still cover scanners, keyboards and USB-to-serial adapters.
Specify the EPC-107A when you want a modern, long-lifecycle Celeron board that can grow with the software over the life of the machine, but the workload still does not justify a Core i3, i5 or i7. If the box will run vision or several applications at once, move up to the EPC-109A or EPC-102A.
One caveat: the J1900 in the EPC-106A is the only board CESIPC lists Windows 7 support for. The J6412 ships with Windows 10, Windows 11 or Ubuntu 16.04–22.04, so verify legacy machine-software compatibility before standardising on this configuration.
Choose the right EPC-10XA configuration
All four configurations share the same 229 × 160 × 47 mm extruded aluminium chassis, the same mounting bracket and VESA pattern, the same 219 × 100 mm installation footprint, the same 3× DB9 serial (RS-232 ×2 + RS-485 ×1) and the same 2× Intel I210 Gigabit LAN. Only the compute board, memory, storage, USB mix and integrated graphics change.

FAQ
Answers for the EPC-107A build. Platform-wide questions — chassis, protection, mounting and the upgrade path — are answered on the EPC-10XA overview page.
What CPU, memory and storage does the EPC-107A ship with?
The EPC-107A ships with an Intel Celeron J6412 quad-core processor at 2.0–2.6 GHz with 1.5 MB of cache and a 10 W TDP, 8 GB of DDR4 memory expandable to 16 GB, and a 128 GB SSD. Integrated Intel UHD graphics drive the HDMI and VGA outputs. Other memory and SSD sizes are built to order at the factory.
How is the EPC-107A different from the EPC-106A?
Same chassis, same 219 × 100 mm installation footprint, same mounting bracket. The EPC-107A steps up to a Celeron J6412 with DDR4 memory and two USB 3.0 ports alongside four USB 2.0; the EPC-106A has a J1900 with DDR3L and one USB 3.0 plus five USB 2.0. Both ship with a 128 GB SSD. Windows 7 is available only on the EPC-106A.
Can the EPC-107A run a gateway plus a local database?
Yes, within limits. 8 GB of DDR4 expandable to 16 GB and a 128 GB SSD are enough for an OPC UA or MQTT gateway with a single-site buffer or a small historian. For a larger database, several concurrent clients or on-box analytics, specify the EPC-109A with up to 32 GB DDR4 or the EPC-102A with DDR5 — the chassis and mounting do not change.
Does the EPC-107A support Windows 7?
No. CESIPC lists Windows 7 support only for the Celeron J1900 board in the EPC-106A. The EPC-107A with its Celeron J6412 ships with Windows 10, Windows 11 or Linux Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04 and 22.04, so legacy machine software that requires Windows 7 should stay on the EPC-106A.
