Pegatron Cape 7 was announced in early 2009 (marketing bookletis dated by 2009-04-13). It is based on Intel Atom 230 series CPU along withSiS 968/672 (models A, B, C, D) or nVidia Ion chipset (models E, F). The unitI have is model D, all further photos and description apply to that model.

The hardware is similar to DellFX160 but is packaged into asignificantly more compact case and uses external power supply. Pegatron is anODM manufacturer which means the units were sold to end users under avariety of brand names. Mine was sold in Russia as Depo Sky 153. I've alsoseen mentions of it being sold as Pegasus CutePC in Indonesia, as unknownmodel under iClient brand in Brazil, and under some local brand in Poland.

Cape 7 is capable of running mainstream operating systems (mine came withWindows XP preinstalled), general purpose Linux distributions are alsosupported.

Specifications

• Motherboard: Pegatron IPP71-CP with SiS 672 northbridge and SiS 968 southbridge
• Processor: Intel Atom 230 (1.6GHz, single core, two threads)
• RAM: DDR2 SO-DIMM, 1GB by default (mine came with 2GB preinstalled by seller)
• Video: SiS Mirage 3
• Storage: 2.5' SATA HDD
• Ports:
  • Network: Realtek 8111EL 10/100/1000
  • USB: 6 USB 2.0 ports (2 front, 4 back)
  • Video: 1 DVI output (other Cape 7 models may use D-Sub or HDMI)
  • Audio: 3.5mm audio out, 3.5mm microphone in - Realtek ALC662
  • Serial: none
  • Parallel: none
  • PS/2: none
  • Other: 1 unknown port (next to DCIN), probably for Wi-Fi antenna
• Power: External power supply - 19V DC, 2.1A, 5.5mm x 2.5mm connector (same as in many ASUS laptops)
• Cooling: passive, completely silent. One removable aluminum heatsink for CPU, several thermal pads to transfer heat from northbridge/southbridge to metal case frame. My device runs pretty hot even after changing the thermal paste - I'll need to monitor how stable it is under workload.
• Dimensions: approx. 173 x 154 x 20mm, the bottom of the case is slightly wider (26mm).

Disassembly

The case can be opened without any tools. All visible screws are holdinginternal components, not the cover. Bottom corners of the cover are easy toget a grip of - pull gently on those and expand the opening until plasticlocks click open one by one.

Expansion

RAM: The unit accepts a single DDR2 SO-DIMM. Default module can be easilyreplaced with a larger one. I did not test with 4GB (DDR2 SO-DIMM of that sizeis expensive!), but I've seen multiple reports of 2GB working fine. My unituses Kingston KVR800D2S6/2G module.

Storage: Cape 7 provides conventional SATA slot with enough space to fit alaptop HDD or SATA SSD. Thick 12.5mm drives fit only when HDD bracket isremoved, but just barely - cover will be slightly bulged. Using SSD might notprovide the expected performance benefit because SATA bus appears to belimited at 300 Mbps (37.6 MB/s) - numbers are from block diagram (page 15 ofthe booklet).

BIOS

BIOS is a standard AMI BIOS. Pressing Del at startup opens setup screen,F8 shows a shorter boot menu to select a device for one-off boot.

BIOS supports booting from USB devices and network boot. There are alsoseveral configurable options for power management:
