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.
DDR4 Memory Down
DDR4 delivers increased system bandwidth and improves performance. The advantages of
DDR4 provide an extended battery life and improve the performance at a lower power than
DDR3/DDR2. The system features memory down instead of using memory sockets for optimal
space reduction.
Graphics
The integrated AMD
®
Radeon
TM
graphics engine delivers an excellent blend of graphics perfor-
mance and features to meet business needs. It provides excellent video and 3D graphics with
outstanding graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver the performance and com-
patibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications.
Gigabit LAN
The Intel
®
I211AT Gigabit LAN controller features up to 1Gbps data transmission with support
for Intel
®
Active Management Technology. It provides remote maintenance and manageability
for networked computing assets in an enterprise environment.
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.
USB
The system board supports the new USB 3.1 Gen 2. It is capable of running at a maximum
transmission speed of up to 10 Gbit/s (1.2 GB/s) and is faster than USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s, or
625 MB/s), USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s) and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s). USB 3.1 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.
ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Manage-
ment and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management.
ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM
function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing
the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows® without having to go
through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating system.
This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire
operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating ses-
sion will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.
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.
