1.1 CPU Board Overview 

 

Figure 1-1: NANO-GX2 

The EPIC form factor NANO-GX2 is a highly integrated CPU card for embedded 

computers, specifically optimized for multi-media applications requiring minimum 

installation space. The NANO-GX2 is particularly suitable for low power and fan-less 

applications. The NANO-GX2 supports a full range of functionality for an 

AT/ATX-compatible industrial computer in a space-saving 3.5” profile. The NANO-GX2 is 

equipped with an on board low-power consumption and high performance AMD Geode™ 

GX 466 processor. The NANO-GX2 also includes 128 MB of DDR memory onboard. 

1.1.1 Applications 

The NANO-GX2 motherboard has been designed for thin client applications. The low 

power consumption and embedded processor provide adequate computing power for 

these applications. The fanless design ensures a quiet and more reliable computer setup. 

1.1.2 Benefits 

Some of the NANO-GX2 motherboard benefits include,
