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.
