HP t610 Plus: Hardware 

HP t610 Plus Thin Client

I don't have a t610 Plus and the photos and some of the details here have been provided by Lee Taylor.

The t610 Plus is just a 'fatter' version of the t610. The same motherboard is packaged within a wider case, the extra width being used to accommodate a PCIe riser card to allow a 4x PCIe card to be fitted. With the increased space available on the back panel HP also add another legacy serial port and a legacy parallel port.

Specifications

These are the same as the t610 with the exception of:

Ports
   Serial
   Parallel
2
1
Dimensions
H x W x D (mm)240 x 65 x 220 (Excluding Stand)

The embedded operating system is one of:

  • HP ThinPro
  • HP Smart Zero Technology
  • Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7E
  • Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7P
  • Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009

depending on the exact model.

Power Supplyt610 power connector

As you'd expect the PSU connector is the same as on the t610. However, due to the expansion capability, HP supply the Plus with an 85W power supply.

CPU

The CPU fitted to the t610 and the t610 Plus is from the first generation of AMD's Embedded G-Series System-on-Chip (SOC).

An identical list to the t610 but with the addition of a Wireless card.

Expansion

Inside the HP t610 Plus

This is exactly the same as the t610 with the addition of the PCIe X4 connector and a bit more space within the housing.

Looking at the photograph (right) the obvious additions are:

  • The expansion socket (top right) has the riser card plugged into it carrying the (white) PCIe socket.
  • From the riser there are ribbon cables to the second serial port (grey) and to the parallel port (black).
  • The heat sinking arrangement has been changed and a fan has been added above it to help cool whatever expansion card is fitted.
  • Some additional metalwork (to carry a disk drive?) has been added between the CPU heatsink and the riser card.
