Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The POS-761F utilizes an LPX form factor (Socket 370) design that sup-
ports Celeron processors and Pentium III processors up to 1.26 GHz
Tualatin code CPU at 133 MHz FSB bus. This effective LPX Socket 370
solution gives end users the choice of good, economical performance
with the Celeronô series processors, or the impressive performance of the
Pentium III series. Also, compared to Slot 1 solutions, the Socket 370's
lower profile allows for a lower board height, critical to embedded sys-
tems applications. This processor flexibility combined with all the other
on-board features, explains why the POS-761F is the new top-of-the-line
POS solution at Advantech.
The POS-761F is loaded with special on-board features that rival full-size
systems. It has standard 10/100Base-T PCI Ethernet, 36-bit DSTN/TFT
LCD panel support as well as SSD support for DOCÆ 2000 and Com-
pactFlashô. There is a Mini PCI socket for optional international version
modem, plus optional support for AC97 3D stereo surround sound with
speaker-out, CD-input, line-in, line-out and microphone. The POS-761F
also includes two 168-pin DIMM sockets for up to 1 GB total on-board
memory.
