<
VGA interface with integrated 350MHz RAMDAC (resolution up to 2048x1536x24@75Hz)
Memory (RAM)
<
Maximum memory capacity of 8GB DDR3 up to 1066MHz
<
512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb, [4Gb] technologies for x8 and x16 devices
<
Channel 0 populated as directly soldered DDR3 devices (Memory Down)
<
Channel 1 provided as 204-pin SODIMM socket to carry DDR3 module PC3-8500
<
Dual channel symmetric – memory addresses interleaved for increased performance
(SODIMM module size must match Memory Down size)
<
Intel® Flex Memory Technology (dual channel interleaved mode with unequal memory
population) - memory sizes maybe unequal in both the channels
<
Dual channel asymmetric – memory sizes may differ, including no memory module
populated in the SODIMM socket (single-channel)
Video
<
Concurrently operation of two monitors with resolutions up to 2560x1536 pixel 16M
colours @60Hz refresh rate (DisplayPort), up to 1600 x 1200 pixel 16M colours @60Hz
(DVI-D on side boards like CCO-CONCERT)
<
Dual screen capable (one display attached to the front panel DisplayPort connector, the
other to a digital display interface provided by a side board)
<
Front panel option: D-Sub (female HD15) VGA connector available, replaces DisplayPort
connector
<
Mezzanine option: Secondary DVI-D connector at mezzanine card front panel allows for
dual digital flat panel operation, suitable mezzanine modules e.g. CCH-MARIACHI, CCI-
RAP, CCJ-RHYTHM, CCO-CONCERT. Side boards providing a 2nd DisplayPort are projected
