Introduction 5
NuPRO-E72
between the processor and PCH. Intel® Flexible Display Interface
carries display traffic from the integrated graphics in the processor
to the legacy display connectors in the PCH. The PCH supports all
other required interfaces including PCI Express, SATA 6 Gb/s,
USB 3.0, PCI, LPC, and SPI.
Dual-Channel DDR3 ECC Memory
To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
NuPRO-E72 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting
DDR3 ECC 1333/1600 MHz DIMMs. The key advantages of
DDR3 ECC are the higher bandwidth and the increase in perfor-
mance at lower power than DDR2. DDR3 ECC memory technol-
ogy meets the requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia,
and network application, and boosts system performance by elimi-
nating bottlenecks.
Gigabit Ethernet
The NuPRO-E72 utilizes an Intel® I217LM Gigabit Ethernet PHY
and Intel® I211-AT Gigabit Ethernet Controller connected to the
PCI-E bus of the C226 PCH. Intel® AMT 9.0 (I217LM on LAN1),
Wake-on-LAN and PXE are supported.
Serial ATA
The NuPRO-E72 provides four Serial ATA ports with data transfer
rates of up to 6.0 GB/s. Intel® Rapid Storage Technology supports
AHCI and RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality.
Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0/3.0)
The NuPRO-E72 provides 4 USB 2.0 ports (backplane) supporting
transfer rates up to 480 Mb/s and 6 USB 3.0 ports (2x on rear
panel, 4x on SHB) supporting transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s. All ports
are USB 2.0/1.1 compatible.
Hardware monitoring
A built-in, proactive hardware monitoring system in the Super I/O
monitors the CPU temperature, system fan speed, and voltage
levels to prevent overheating and/or component damage, effect
