LPC Connector
The Low Pin Count Interface was defined by Intel
®
Corporation to facilitate the industry’s tran-
sition towards legacy free systems. It allows the integration of low-bandwidth legacy I/O com-
ponents within the system, which are typically provided by a Super I/O controller. Furthermore,
it can be used to interface firmware hubs, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) devices and embed-
ded controller solutions. Data transfer on the LPC bus is implemented over a 4 bit serialized
data interface, which uses a 33MHz LPC bus clock. For more information about LPC bus refer
to the Intel
®
Low Pin Count Interface Specification Revision 1.1’. The table below indicates the
pin functions of the LPC connector.

Expansion Slots
PCI Slot
The PCI slot supports expansion cards that comply with PCI specifications. You can install a
PCI expansion card or a customized riser card designed for only 2 PCI slots expansion (for low
profile PCI card only) into the PCI slot.
M.2 M Key Socket (for KD300-Q170 only)
The M.2 socket is the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) which is designed to support mul-
tiple modules and make the M.2 more suitable in application for solid-state storage.
