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.
LPDDR3
Low-Power Double Data Rate (LPDDR) is a form of RAM that targets less power consumption.
LPDDR3 achieves a data rate of 1600 MT/s.
Graphics
The integrated Intel
®
UHD 620 graphics engine delivers an excellent blend of graphics perfor-
mance and features to meet business needs. It provides excellent video and 3D graphics with
outstanding graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver the performance and com-
patibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications. Supports VGA, LVDS, eDP
and DDI display outputs.
Serial ATA
The system supports multiple SATA 3.0 (up to 6Gb/s) ports and allows for different configura-
tions of RAID levels to meet various requirements for data redundancy and performance.
Gigabit LAN
The Intel
®
I219 Gigabit LAN controller features up to 1Gbps data transmission with support for
Intel
®
Active Management Technology. It provides remote maintenance and manageability for
networked computing assets in an enterprise environment.
Wake-On-LAN
This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is
supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Man-
agement Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the
system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
USB
The system board supports the new USB 3.0. It is capable of running at a maximum transmis-
sion speed of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s) and is faster than USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s)
and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s). USB 3.0 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 exter-
nal Plug and Play peripherals.
ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Manage-
ment and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management.
ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM
function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing
the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows® without having to go
through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating system.
This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire
operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating ses-
sion will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.
Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system
manually or let the system power-on automatically.
