VPC27-W53-O1-1B

What this slot-in PC adds to a ViewBoard panel

The VPC27-W53-O1-1B is an OPS computer module that installs in the expansion slot of a compatible ViewBoard interactive display. Instead of placing a desktop beside the screen, classroom apps and presentation tools run from inside the module, so each room has one self-contained unit that is easier to manage and leaves fewer visible cables.

Processor, memory and storage

The module uses an Intel Core i7-10700T processor with a 2.0GHz base clock and turbo boost up to 4.5GHz. It is paired with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD on a PCIe Gen3 interface. Graphics come from the Intel UHD Graphics 630, and TPM 2.0 support is included for hardware-based security. That headroom lets a lesson keep an annotation tool, a browser, video and a set of documents open together.

Ports and wireless connectivity

Video output is provided by one HDMI 1.4 port and one DisplayPort 1.2 port, each rated for 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz. The module also includes one line-out audio port, one microphone input, one Gigabit LAN RJ45 port, one USB 3.2 port, three USB 2.0 ports and one USB-C port for data only. Wireless is handled by an Intel AX200 module with dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

Where it fits in Qatar

A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms can place one module in each panel, so teachers start every lesson on the same set-up without a desktop beside the screen. A ministry department in Msheireb can use a boardroom panel with its built-in wireless connection for presentations from staff laptops. A training centre in Education City equipping several rooms can keep the same module and configuration across all of them, which simplifies planning and support.

Planning the installation and the environment

The module measures 202 x 119 x 30 mm and weighs 1 kg, so it takes little space, but the panel's mounting position still matters. Its rated operating range is -5°C to 45°C at 20% to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing. Doha summer afternoons can push temperatures near glass or in poorly ventilated spaces beyond that limit, so plan for an air-conditioned, ventilated room and avoid sealed enclosures without airflow. The team can review the location during a free site survey.

• Confirm the OPS slot and panel model before ordering.
• Plan cooled, ventilated space around the module.
• Allow for DC input of 12V to 19V at 3.42A, 65 W typical.

The regulatory listing includes CE, FCC, RoHS and REACH, among others. Windows 11 Pro is the installed operating system, with a Windows 10 Pro downgrade preinstalled.
