Centerm C75 Features

LAN-based connection
C75 connects to the host server through the Ethernet
interface. This connection type exceeds the length limit
of a USB connection and provides more flexibility in the
layout of a MultiPoint Server system.

Low total cost of ownership

Additional computing access is as simple as adding more
I/O devices. The total cost of ownership is then drastically
reduced.
Slim and quiet design
C75 is feather light weithing only 350g. The slim desitn
allows it to be mounted to the back of a monitor with a
VESA mount. Together with its fanless design, c75 helps
create a simple and noiseless workplace environment.

www.centerm.com

Simple setup
Just attach a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to your c75,
connect it to the host server, and then perform the initial
setup. A station is ready for use right away.
Easy management and maintenance
Since all computing tasks are performed on a server,all
hardware and software issues are sighificantly reduced on
the client side. All user management, software installations,
system management, and upgrades are done on a single
server.
