Industries / kiosk & POS
A kiosk is a storefront with no staff.
Kiosks run unattended in public and often warm. The board must boot without a keyboard, recover from a power cycle and fit a NUC or 2.5-inch envelope. PCI PTS is on the terminal.
The board is not PCI PTS certified; that applies to the terminal.

Requirement / interface
No operator to clear a fault.
A kiosk has no one to clear a fault. The board needs a display path, a fanless option, 12–19 V and documented recovery. AD600CA has two HDMI and two Type-C outputs on 100 × 100 mm.

The board is a component; PCI PTS and the enclosure belong to their makers.
Configuration example / not a named customer
One checkout lane, one hour.
A lane goes down in a peak window. At the cited rate, each hour costs US$800–900; a peak minute can reach US$14,056. The build pairs AD600CA for dual display and 12–19 V with TL500CA for dual 2.5G LAN. The payment terminal stays a separate certified unit.

Enclosure checks / two views
Fan clearance and service access.
AD742A is 100 × 72 mm with an optional fan. TL500CA is a 100 × 100 mm NUC at 28 W. Both are rated −20 to +60 °C at board level; kiosk airflow is the integrator's design.
Fanless depends on heatsink and enclosure.

Before the inquiry
Payment, fanless and OS doubts, answered.
Is the board PCI PTS certified?
No. The board is not PCI PTS certified; that applies to the terminal.
Can the board run fanless?
AD600CA and TL500CA are NUC boards; fanless operation depends on heatsink and enclosure. AD742A has an optional fan. The rating is −20 to +60 °C.
How do I handle Windows 10 end of support?
Support ended 14 October 2025. These boards support Windows 11 and Linux per spec cards; the OS image and updates are the integrator's.
