tem 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.

TM
socket for inserting a
CompactFlash
TM
card. CompactFlash
TM
card is a small removable mass storage
device designed with flash technology - a non-volatile storage solution that does
not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. The CompactFlash
TM
technology
is widely used in products such as portable and desktop computers, digital cam-
eras, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, Pocket PCs, handy terminals and
personal communicators.

DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. The ad-
vantages of DDR3 are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a
lower power than DDR2.
Integrated Graphics

graphics for large display applications. Graphics interfaces such as VGA, DVI and
LVDS support multiple graphics display options.
DVI
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video interface technology made to
maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics
cards. Data is transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Sig-
naling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC’s graphics subsystem to
the display.
LVDS
The Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface allows the Intel Graphics
Media Adapter to communicate directly to the flat-panel display. The LVDS inter
-
face supports pixel color depths of 18 bits.
