Chapter 1 Setting Up the ReadySystem 1U
About the ReadySystem 1U
The ReadySystem™ products are intended for users of turn-key embedded systems, who prefer long
lifecycle, configuration controlled computers over desktop grade systems with frequently changing
motherboards. ReadySystem models feature the ReadyBoard single board computer (SBC), from the
400 MHz Intel Celeron® CPU to the Intel 1.4 GHz Pentium® M 738 CPU. The desired operating

your application software and you are ready to use your system applications.
