Features
• 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.
• LPDDR4
LPDDR4 SDRAM provides backward compatibility to LPDDR3 memory modules but can operate
at a lower power level.
• 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 1 x Mini DP++ inter-
face for display output.
• Gigabit LAN
One Intel
®
I211AT PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller or one optional Intel
®
I210IT PCI
Express Gigabit Ethernet controller supports up to 1Gbps data transmission.
• Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system
manually or let the system power-on automatically.
• USB
The system board supports the USB 3.1 Gen1. It is capable of running at a maximum trans-
mission 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 3.1 Gen1 reduces the time required for data transmission,
reduces power consumption, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. It is a marked im-
provement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultane-
ously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
• Wake-On-LAN
This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is
supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Man-
agement Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on
the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
• ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enable PCs to implement power manage-
ment and plug-and-play with operating systems that support power management features.
With ACPI, the system can further utilize the Ethernet adapter’s wake-on-LAN (WOL) capability
that enables remote wake-up if the Ethernet adapter supports such feature.
• Power over Ethernet
The system board is powerd by PoE (Power over Ethernet) for industrial and signage user un-
der PoE environment.
