Product Description Overview The Intel® Compute Card requires a certified compatible device with a Compute Card slot in order to operate. For information on compatible devices for use with the Intel® Compute Card see www.intel.com/ComputeCard/. Version Summary There are two different versions of this model of Intel® Compute Card available which are summarized in Table 1.
Feature Summary Table 2 summarizes the major features of the Intel® Compute Card. Table 2. Feature Summary 94.5 millimeters by 55 millimeters by 5 millimeters (3.7205 inches by 2.1654 inches by Form Factor 0.1969 inches) Soldered-down Intel® Core™ processor Processor ―...

4 GB memory per channel (8 GB total memory) on CD1IV128MK Refer to Section 2.1 on page 23 for information on the total amount of addressable memory System Storage The Intel® Compute Card has soldered-down storage using a 128 GB PCIe x2 Sold State Drive.
1.9.1 Integrated Graphics The Intel® Compute Card supports integrated graphics via the processor. Two Digital Display Interface (DDI) lanes are available from the Compute Card connector. How the DDI lanes are used is dependent on the device the Compute Card is plugged into and how the lanes are configured.
1.11 Authentication The Intel® Compute Card and any device with a compatible slot for the Intel® Compute Card will use bidirectional authentication. The Compute Card will attempt to authenticate the compatible device and the compatible device will attempt to authenticate the Compute Card. The authentication uses digital keys, which are provisioned by default during manufacturing for every Compute Card and Compute Card compatible device.
1.12 Power Management Power management is implemented at several levels, including: Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Hardware support: Power Input Instantly Available PC technology Wireless LAN wake capabilities Wake from USB (When plugged into a compatible device) ...
1.12.1.1 System States and Power States Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off.
1.12.1.2 Wake-up Devices and Events Table 5 lists the devices or specific events that can wake the Compute Card from specific states. Table 5. Wake-up Devices and Events Devices/events that wake up the system… …from this sleep state Comments Power switch S3, S4, S5 Only supported if compatible device has a power switch...

1.12.2.1 Instantly Available PC Technology Instantly Available PC technology enables the Compute Card to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to- RAM) sleep-state. While in the S3 sleep-state, the computer will appear to be off (the power supply is off, and the front panel off). When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state.
Intel® Security and Manageability Technologies provides tools and resources to help small business owners and IT organizations protect and manage their assets in a business or institutional environment. NOTE Software with security and/or manageability capability is required to take advantage of Intel platform security and/or management technologies. 1.13.1 Intel® vPro™ Technology Only available on the CD1IV128MK.
NOTE A processor with Intel VT does not guarantee that virtualization will work on your Compute Card. Intel VT requires enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers, and applications designed for this feature.
1.13.7 Intel® Memory Protection Extensions (MPX) Intel® Memory Protection Extensions (Intel® MPX) provides a set of hardware features that can be used by software in conjunction with compiler changes to check that memory references intended at compile time do not become unsafe at runtime due to buffer overflow or underflow.
Technical Reference Addressable Memory The Intel® Compute Card utilizes up to 4 or 8 GB of addressable system memory depending on the model. Typically the address space that is allocated for PCI Conventional bus add-in cards, PCI Express configuration space, BIOS (SPI Flash device), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM (total system memory).
2.2.1 Connector Interface Options The connector has several interface options that are listed in table 6. Table 6. Connector Interface Options Interface Type C Only Type C Type C + Extension Type C + Extension Option A Only Option A Option B Option B Digital Display...

Overview of BIOS Features Introduction The Intel® Compute Card uses an Intel® BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support. The initial production BIOSs are identified as MKKBLY35.86A or MKKBLi5v.86A...
(a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web. Intel® F7 switch during POST allows a user to select where the BIOS .bio file is located and perform the update from that location/device.
ISO 9660 For information about Refer to BIOS recovery http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/intel- compute-card/000023860.html Boot Options In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from local storage or removable storage. The default setting is for the local storage to be the first boot device. For removable storage use the Compute Card must be plugged into a compatible device.
