Introduction
The Express-HLE is a COM Express® COM.0 R2.1 Type 6 module supporting the 64-bit 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/3 processor with
Intel® QM87 Chipset and 4th Generation Intel® Celeron® processor with Intel® HM86 Chipset. The Express-HLE is specifically designed for
customers who need high-level processing and graphics performance in a long product life solution.
The Express-HLE supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (up to 4 cores, 8 threads) and ECC type DDR3L dual-channel memory at
1333/1600 MHz to provide excellent overall performance. Intel® Flexible Display Interface and Direct Media Interface provide high speed
connectivity from the CPU to the Intel® QM87/HM86 Chipset.
Integrated Intel Generation 7.5 Graphics includes features such as OpenGL 3.1, DirectX 11, Intel® Clear Video HD Technology, Advanced
Scheduler 2.0, 1.0, XPDM support, and DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) support for full AVC/VC1/MPEG2 hardware decode. Graphics
outputs include VGA, LVDS and three DDI ports supporting HDMI / DVI / DisplayPort. The Express-HLE is specifically designed for
customers with high-performance processing graphics requirements who want to outsource the custom core logic of their systems for
reduced development time.
The Express-HLE has dual stacked SODIMM sockets for up to 16 GB ECC type DDR3L memory. The Intel® Mobile QM87/HM86 Chipset
integrates VGA and dual-channel 18/24-bit LVDS display output. In addition to the onboard integrated graphics, a multiplexed PCI Express®
x16 Graphics bus is available for discrete graphics expansion or general purpose x8 or x4 PCI Express® connectivity.
The Express-HLE features a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port, USB 3.0 ports and USB 2.0 ports, and SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Support is
provided for SMBus and I
2
