Performance Processing
The KCO Series features Premio’s industrial-grade MicroATX motherboard, providing a full slate of features that allow system integrators to capitalize on IoT and connectivity technologies for embedded industrial applications. The KCO Series supports the Intel® 9th Generation Core® processor family (formerly codenamed Coffee Lake Refresh) in Intel Celeron, Pentium, and Core i3, i5, and i7 options offering multi-core processing for blazing-fast performance. The KCO Series also features an LGA 1151 socket, Intel’s Q370 chipset, providing better performance, more robust security, and faster I/O connectivity to peripherals and expansions.
Rich I/O and Expansion Options
This compact industrial computer is equipped with expansive I/O, offering up to 13 USB Type-A Ports (7x USB 2.0 ports and 6x USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports) for high-speed IoT connectivity. These computers also feature 4x Serial COM ports (RS-232/422/485) for legacy devices, easily accommodating both legacy and modern peripherals.
I/O options are flexible, and system integrators can populate the PCIe slots with various add-in cards that suit their industrial applications. The KCO-2000 Series features a single PCIe Gen 3 slot allowing users to add a low-profile add-in card to the system. In contrast, the KCO-3000 Series packs 3x PCIe Gen 3 slots (one PCIe x16, one PCIe x4, and one PCIe x1) to accommodate add-in cards, including acceleration cards used for machine learning, deep learning, and high-speed networking.

Removable Storage and On-Board NVMe
The KCO-2000 Series supports a single 2.5” SSD (solid-state drive) or a single 2.5” HDD (hard disk drive), while the KCO-3000 Series supports a single 3.5” HDD or a single 2.5” SSD. Dual M.2 onboard connectors enhance device connectivity and storage. One connector is keyed to the E position, capable of receiving a Wi-Fi 6 card. The second is keyed to the M position, serving as a PCIe x4 interface, offering support for high-speed NVMe SSD storage, which includes a hot-swappable drive tray unique to Premio.
Hardware Security Standard
The KCO Series is equipped with TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module), providing boot security and platform integrity at the hardware level by preventing malware from affecting critical systems. The TPM root key enables encryption for device applications and provides password authentication that allows system access only to trusted parties.
Industrial-Grade Dust Filter and Chassis
Additionally, the KCO Series is equipped with an external dust filter; the filter is conveniently washable and significantly reduces the potential for dust to enter the system and damage the sensitive internal components.
