Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel Atom SoC processor, the A2SAP-L1
motherboard offers maximum I/O expandability, energy efficiency, and data reliability in a
14-nm process architecture, and is optimized for embedded storage solutions, networking
applications, or cloud-computing platforms. The A2SAP-L1 drastically increases system
performance for a multitude of server applications.
The A2SAP-L1 supports the following features:
•
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
•
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
•
Video Connectors: HDMI and LVDS
•
Adaptive Thermal Management/Monitoring
•
Mini-PCIe slot with PCIe Gen2 X1 with transfer rates of up to 5Gb/s
•
SATA port with SATA Gen3 with transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s
•
System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0
•
M.2 slot with B-key 2242/3042 module
•
Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH)
•
Intel® Identity Protection Technology
1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the A2SAP-L1 motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports system health
monitoring.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to
remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or
for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
Note:
Before setting the Recovery from AC Power Loss function in the BIOS, please
adjust force power on jumper JLCDPWR1 to pins 4-6 to disable the force power-on
function.
