Chapter 1

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 HDMI and DVI-I

interfaces for display outputs.

• DVI

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video interface technology made to maximize the

quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics cards. Data is transmitted using

the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) protocol, providing a digital signal from

the PC’s graphics subsystem to the display.

• 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), 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

One Intel

®

82579LM and one Intel

®

82574L Gigabit LAN controllers support up to 1Gbps data

transmission.

• Audio

The Realtek ALC886 audio codec provides 5.1-channel High Definition audio output.

• 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.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

• Wake-On-USB

This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the

S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

• RTC

Timer

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the

set date and time.

• Power

Failure

Recovery

When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system

manually or let the system power-on automatically.

Important:

If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the

5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥1.5A. For 3 or more

USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥2A.

• Wake-On-PS/2

This function allows you to use the PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on the system.

• Wake-On-LAN

This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It

is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power

Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-

on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.
