Expansion Pci & Pcie; Amt; Tpm - Advantech ECU-4784 Series User Manual

2.11 Expansion PCI & PCIE:
The ECU-4784 Series supports 2 standard Domain I/O Expansions (each supports 1
PCIe and 2 PCI devices) which supports up to 2 PCI devices and 1 PCIe device. You
could also install the expansion of other functions of the PCI & PCIe interface to meet
customer's demand.
The ECU-4784 Series offers 2 expansion slots for modularized domain I/O plug-in
cards. Through the interface card, the ECU-4784 Series can also use standard PCI
cards, PCIe cards, mini-PCI cards as well as the PCI-104 card. Due to the ECU-4784
Series being an embedded system, the power providing for the expansion slot is lim-
ited. The maximum power support for each slot is:
5 V @ 2 A
3.3 V @ 1.5 A
12 V @ 0.25 A
And totally support maximum 25 W (at 50 °C condition) for all slots. Before you con-
figure all the module and plug-in card, please note not to exceed the power limit.

AMT

Intel AMT is part of the Intel vPro technology [i] offering. Platforms equipped with Intel
AMT can be managed remotely, regardless of whether they are powered up or
whether they have a functioning OS.
The ECU-4784 Series supports AMT. You can see the Step-by-Step Guide on How
to Enable AMT Function in the Help guide.

TPM

The ECU-4784 Series supports Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology, TPM is
designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM is a micro-
chip designed to provide basic security-related functions, primarily involving encryp-
tion keys. The TPM is usually installed on the motherboard of a computer, and
communicates with the rest of the system using a hardware bus.
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is the root-of-trust in a given platform (such as
on desktop computers). If built into a computer that runs an operating system that is
aware of this chip, it can check the system integrity and authenticate third-party users
who would like to access the security features, while remaining under complete con-
trol of its primary user. Therefore, privacy and confidentiality are assured.
Step by Step Guide on How to Enable TPM and Perform TPM application, you can
refer to as the ECU-4784 TPM Help document for the detailed application.
