NITX-315/NITX-315-ET Installation and Use (6806800L71D) 19
Introduction
1.1 Overview
NITX-315/NITX-315-ET is a highly integrated Small Form Factor Nano-ITX board based on the
Queensbay Platform, including the Tunnel Creek processor and Topcliff IOH. The NITX-
315/NITX-315-ET incorporates the standard processor, memory, graphics and I/O
functionality, as is common as a small form factor PC motherboard. The NITX-315/NITX-315-
ET operates with or without a local display. Standard PC expansion ports are also available on
the rear panel along with additional USB ports, SATA and LVDS via headers on the board as well
as a single PCIExpress expansion slot. Because the NITX-315/NITX-315-ET is based on the
latest Intel Queensbay platform, it has a long product life cycle, lower power consumption and
suitable for fanless applications. NITX-315/NITX-315-ET performs well within extended
temperature ranges for more rugged commercial applications. NITX-315-ET is designed to
meet -20 - 70 °C ambient temperature requirement.
