EPIC Express Hurricane-QM57 Passes ANSI/VITA 47-2005 V3 & OS2 Tests

Three off-the-shelf production CPU boards on their heat-spreaders were subjected to the stringent examinations. Tortures involved 12g vibration in various frequency ranges, 50g shock tests, and drop tests. The boards, designed especially for rough environments, brilliantly survived this tough testing.
