Elo Backpack for Linux E143585 Compact Linux PC

Overview

The Elo Backpack for Linux (E143585) is a compact commercial Linux PC that pairs with Elo touchscreens from 7 to 65 inches. It runs Debian 10 on a Rockchip six-core processor with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage, and outputs 4K at 60fps over HDMI or USB-C. It suits digital signage, kiosks and point of sale in Qatar, backed by a 2-year warranty.

A compact Linux computer for Elo touchscreens

The Elo Backpack for Linux (E143585) is a small commercial computer that mounts behind an Elo touchscreen from 7 to 65 inches, on a counter, or inside a kiosk enclosure. It runs Debian 10 on a Rockchip RK3399 six-core processor with 4GB LPDDR4 memory and 32GB of storage, so a display, signage software or a kiosk front end can run without a separate desktop tower.

Because the unit is built to pair with Elo panels of several sizes, an organisation can standardise on one Linux platform across its sites, from a reception screen to a meeting room display, and keep software images and driver versions consistent.

The specifications that matter for planning

Video output is the detail most buyers check first. The unit delivers 4K output at 3840 x 2160 and 60fps over both HDMI and USB-C. It also provides four USB 3.0 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port, Bluetooth 5.0, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi through external antennas, a micro-SD slot and GPIO for connecting external hardware.

Typical power draw is 3.7 W when on, 3.18 W in sleep and 0.28 W when off. The unit weighs 0.37 kg and measures 114 mm x 139 mm x 25.4 mm, which makes it practical for tight spaces behind a panel or inside a cabinet.

Where it fits in Qatar

A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out classrooms with interactive panels can mount one unit behind each screen and use the single Ethernet connection for content updates.
A clinic in Msheireb running queue numbers and wayfinding in its waiting area needs a compact computer that fits behind the display rather than in a server room.
A shopping mall retailer in Lusail placing a self-service kiosk for product lookup or ordering can use the built-in VESA mounting inside the kiosk body.

What to plan before ordering

The operating range is 0 to 40 C (32 to 104 F). Summer temperatures in Doha regularly exceed 45 C, so install the unit in air-conditioned rooms, not outdoors or in spots facing direct sun through glass.
Input is 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, and the box includes North American and European power cables. Confirm the plug arrangement for BS 1363 sockets with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.
Mounting uses the 75 mm or 100 mm VESA pattern, so check the hole spacing on your panel or enclosure first.
A free site survey helps confirm mounting position, ventilation inside sealed kiosks and cable routing.
The unit carries a 2-year warranty. Extended options cover 3, 4 or 5 years, with advance unit replacement available on some of them.

Questions about Backpack for Linux

What is the Elo Backpack for Linux used for?

It is a compact Linux computer that drives an Elo touchscreen for digital signage, self-service kiosks, point of sale and kitchen display systems. In Qatar it suits a hotel lobby directory or a restaurant ordering point where there is little space behind the screen. Because it weighs 0.37 kg and measures 114 mm x 139 mm x 25.4 mm, it can be hidden in a counter or kiosk body.

Which screens can it be paired with?

The product is designed to pair with any Elo touchscreen from 7 to 65 inches, including monitors, open frames and large format interactive displays. Send the exact panel model with your quotation request so the SmartRooms Qatar team can confirm the connection and mounting arrangement before ordering several units for a project.

Which operating system does it run?

The unit runs Linux, and its specification lists Debian 10 as the operating system, with Debian 10 distributions or newer offered as options. Elo supplies Linux device drivers and uniform SDKs for this platform, which helps an organisation keep software images consistent across several sites with the same hardware.

Can it output 4K video?

Yes. It outputs 4K at 3840 x 2160 and 60fps over both HDMI and USB-C. This suits a 4K panel in a Doha boardroom or a lecture theatre at Education City, where sharp text and detailed slides matter. Confirm that your display accepts 4K at 60fps on the input you plan to use.

Can it be installed in hot or outdoor areas in Qatar?

No. The operating temperature range is 0 to 40 C (32 to 104 F), while Qatar summers regularly pass 45 C. Install it in air-conditioned rooms, not outdoors, near windows in direct sun or in unventilated kiosk cabinets. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to review ventilation during the site survey.

Does it work with Qatar's power supply?

The power input is rated at 100 to 240 VAC and 50 to 60 Hz, and a power adapter is included. The box contains North American and European power cables, so you should confirm the plug arrangement for BS 1363 (Type G) sockets before ordering. The replacement power brick kit is available as a separate part, E682057.

How much power does it use?

Typical consumption is 3.7 W when on, 3.18 W in sleep and 0.28 W when off. These low figures suit a school running signage or a clinic display for long hours. Power use depends on the workload, so these values are typical readings from the manufacturer rather than a guarantee for every installation.

How do I mount it behind a panel or in a kiosk?

It has a built-in VESA mount with 75 mm or 100 mm hole patterns, so you can attach it to the back of a compatible panel, a counter or a kiosk frame. Check the hole spacing and free space around the unit before installation. A site survey by SmartRooms Qatar can confirm the layout and cable routing.

What connections does it have?

It provides HDMI, USB-C output, four USB 3.0 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port, a micro-SD slot, GPIO, Bluetooth 5.0 and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi uses external antennas, and two are included. This lets a school or hotel connect the unit to a wired network for updates and to peripherals such as touch or sensor hardware.

What warranty and service options are available?

The product includes a 2-year warranty. Extended options are available for 3, 4 and 5 years of coverage, and some of them add advance unit replacement. Each option has its own Elo part number, so state the cover you need in your quotation request. The SmartRooms Qatar team can list the options that suit your order.

What comes in the box?

The box includes the Backpack unit, a North American power cable, a European power cable, a power brick with locking screw, two antennas and a quick install guide. A replacement power brick kit is sold separately under part number E682057, which is useful for sites that want a spare adapter on hand.

Can a government ministry or school order several units on an LPO?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar. Send the number of units and the panel sizes to be paired with them. A school or ministry project often needs matching units, so a single quotation helps keep the order consistent.
