5.1 Features

5.1.1 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.

5.1.2 DDR3L

DDR3L is a higher performance DDR3 SDRAM interface providing less voltage and higher speed

successor. DDR3L SDRAM modules support 1066/1333MHz for DDR modules. DDR3L de-livers

increased system bandwidth and improved performance to provide its higher bandwidth and its

increase in performance at a lower power.

5.1.3 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, DVI and DP interfaces for up to 3

display outputs.

5.1.4 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.

5.1.5 Gigabit LAN

The Intel® I210 Gigabit LAN controller supports up to 1Gbps data transmission.

5.1.6 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.
