1 Overview 1.1 Introduction The Hurricane-QM57 offers a high performance EPIC board with the i7-620UE, i7-610E and Celeron P4505 ® Processor Series from Intel Core™. This processor is a next generation of 64-bit, multi-core mobile processor built on 32-nanometer process technology. Based on the low-power/high-performance Nehalem micro- architecture, the Arrandale processor is designed for a two-chip platform as opposed to the traditional three-chip platforms (processor, GMCH, and ICH).
Custom combinations of processor and memory are possible. Minimum order quantities are required. Contact LiPPERT’s Sales Team at sales@lippertembedded.com Cable Sets and Accessories There are some options available for the Hurricane-QM57. Please check their availability before ordering.

3.4 Gigabit Ethernet Controller There are two Ethernet ports available on two standard ETH connectors. One Ethernet by 82577 (Hanksville) with AMT support and the other by 82574L. Intel 82577 Gigabit Ethernet PHY The 82577 is a single port Gigabit Ethernet Physical Layer Transceiver (PHY). It connects to the Ibex Peak-M chipset’s integrated Media Access Controller (MAC) through a dedicated interconnect.
Ibex Peak. Thirteen USB 2.0 host ports are provided with the Hurricane-QM57. Four USB ports are available on two standard 2-port USB connectors. Another two USB ports (8/9) are available on the third standard 2-port USB connector, but they have a maximum output current of one ampere per port.
The input DMA engines move digital data from the A-D converter in the codec to system memory. The Ibex Peak implements four Serial Digital Input signals (HDA_SDI[3:0]) supporting up to four codecs. The Hurricane-QM57 uses a codec from Realtek. The ALC888 is a high-performance 7.1+2 Channel High Definition Audio Codec.

4 Using the Module 4.1 BIOS The Hurricane-QM57 is delivered with a Phoenix Technology BIOS. The default settings guarantee a "ready to run" system, even without a BIOS setup backup battery. All setup changes of the BIOS are stored in the CMOS RAM. A copy of the CMOS RAM, excluding date and time, is stored in the flash memory.
EFI Shell To start the EFI Shell you have to pressing the <F11> key at power-up. Jumper BIOS Defaults To reload the default values automatically at power up the jumper “BIOS Defaults” must be plugged before power up. On power up the BIOS will recognize plugged jumper and load the setup defaults. TME-EPIC-HURQM-R2V4.docx Revision 2.4 Page 33 of 54...
