Term Definition
ETXexpress™ The original Kontron name for the small form factor module standard
that also is known as COM Express™. ETXexpress and COM Express™
are used interchangeably in this document.
Express Card Small form factor hot-pluggable card for mobile computing. Express
Card is the CardBus successor and uses USB or PCI Express x1 as the
I/O interface.
The Express Card standard is maintained by the PCMCIA consortium.
ExpressModule A PCI Express based modular form factor card promoted by the PCI-SIG
for the server and workstation market.
Extended Form
Factor The 155mm x 110mm module size format defined by the PICMG. This
form factor is ordinarily used in systems requiring more memory than
what is available on Basic Form Factor designs.
An Extended Form Factor module typically accepts two full-size DIMMs.
