Figure 1–1: IEM-945GSE
The IEM-945GSE ETX 3.0 module provides the main processing chips and is connected
to a compatible ETX 3.0 carrier board. The IEM-945GSE is equipped with an 1.6 GHz
Intel® ATOM™ N270 CPU, Intel® 945GSE Northbridge and Intel® ICH7M Southbridge
and provides multiple legacy I/O options. SATA connectors on the IEM-945GSE provide
modern alternative for hard drives, supplementing the legacy IDE channels provided
through the ETX connectors. The ETX 3.0 standard allows the ETX 3.0 carrier board to be
designed, while leaving the choice of processor till the later stages of design. The
IEM-945GSE embedded module is designed for flexible integration by system developers
into customized platform devices.
