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 graphics engine delivers an excellent blend of graphics performance
®
and features to meet business needs. It provides excellent video and 3D graphics with out-
standing graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver the performance and compat-
ibility needed for today's and tomorrow's business applications. Supports 1 VGA, 1 LVDS/eDP
and 1 DP++ interfaces for triple 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 parallel
ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
• Gigabit LAN
Intel ® I210AT/I210IT PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller and Intel
press Gigabit Ethernet controller support up to 1Gbps data transmission.
• Audio
The Realtek ALC888S audio codec provides 2.1-channel High Definition audio output.
• 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.
• USB
The system board supports the USB 3.0. It is capable of running at a maximum transmission
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.

• 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.
• Wake-On-USB
This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the
S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.
• ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enable PCs to implement power manage-
ment and plug-and-play with operating systems that support power management features.
With ACPI, the system can further utilize the Ethernet adapter's wake-on-LAN (WOL) capability
that enables remote wake-up if the Ethernet adapter supports such feature.
• RTC Timer
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the
set date and time.
