Features

Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the system at the set

time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so

that your system will continue to operate.

DDR3

DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. The advantages of

DDR3 are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than DDR2.

Graphics

The integrated Intel

®

HD graphics engine delivers an excellent blend of graphics performance

and features to meet business needs. It provides excellent video and 3D graphics with out-

standing graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver the performance and compat-

ibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications. Supports VGA, LVDS and DDI

(HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort) for up to 3 display outputs.

Serial ATA

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of

up to 3Gb/s (SATA 2.0) and 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), it improves hard drive performance faster than

the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

Gigabit LAN

The Intel

®

82579LM Gigabit LAN controller supports up to 1Gbps data transmission.

USB

The system board supports the new USB 3.0. It is capable of running at a maximum transmis-

sion speed of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s) and is faster than USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s)

and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s). USB 3.0 reduces the time required for data transmission, reduces

power consumption, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. It is a marked improvement

in device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously

accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
