Features
•
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the system 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.
•
DDR4
DDR4 delivers increased system bandwidth and improves performance at a lower power than
DDR3/DDR2.
•
Graphics
The integrated Intel
®
HD engine delivers an excellent blend of graphics performance and fea-
tures to meet business needs. It delivers enhanced media conversion rates and higher frame
rates on 4K Ultra HD videos. These enhancements deliver the performance and compatibility
to meet the demand for business and home entertainment applications. The system supports 1
x VGA/DDI (DDI available upon request), 1 x LVDS/eDP (eDP available upon request) and 2 x
DDI (HDMI/DVI/DP++) display outputs.
•
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of
up to 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard paral-
lel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. However, the bandwidth of the SATA 3.0 will be
limited by carrier board design.
•
Gigabit LAN
The Intel
®
I219LM Gigabit LAN PHY controller features up to 1Gbps data transmission.
•
USB
The system board supports the new USB 3.1 Gen2. It is capable of running at a maximum
transmission speed of up to 10 Gbit/s (1280 MB/s) and is faster than USB 3.1 Gen1 (5 Gbit/s,
or 625 MB/s), USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s) and USB 1.1 (12 Mbit/s). USB 3.1 reduces the
time required for data transmission, reduces power consumption, and is backward compatible
with USB 2.0. It is a marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer
and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
