Features
• 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 com-
patibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications. Supports HDMI and LVDS
display outputs.
• Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 2.0a specification. With speed of
up to 3Gb/s (SATA 2.0), it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel
ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. The bandwidth of the SATA 3.0 will be limited by
carrier board design.
• Gigabit LAN
The Atheros AR8033 Ethernet Phy controller supports up to 1Gbps data transmission.
• USB
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second band-
width while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in
device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible
external Plug and Play peripherals.
• 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.

The DFI FS700 Series Qseven module provides Gigabit Ethernet with one Atheros
AR8033 Ethernet PHY. The maximum throughput that the Gigabit Ethernet performs is
limited to 470Mbps (total for Tx and Rx) due to internal bus limitations based on Fre-
escale’s Errata ERR004512. The actual measurement of the Gigabit Ethernet controller
used on the FS700 Series system board is up to 380Mbps. This difference might be
caused by the software configuration, network environment or equipment.
