Page 20: Pci Express
Chapter 2 Specifications PCI Express™ The COM 830 offers 6x x1 PCI Express lanes via the Intel 82801GHM (ICH7M-DH), which can be configured to support PCI Express edge cards or ExpressCards. One of the six x1 PCI Express lane is utilized by the onboard Ethernet controller therefore there are only 5x x1 PCI Express lanes available on the A,B connector row. -
Page 21: Power Supply Implementation Guidelines
Chapter 2 Specifications Power Supply Implementation Guidelines 12 volt input power is the sole operational power source for the COM 830. The remaining necessary voltages are internally generated on the module using onboard voltage regulators. A baseboard designer should be aware of the following important information when designing a power supply for a COM 830 application: It has also been noticed that on some occasions problems occur when using a 12V power supply that produces non monotonic voltage when powered up. -
Page 22: Onboard Microcontroller
Chapter 2 Specifications Onboard Microcontroller The COM 830 is equipped with an ATMEL Atmega168 microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the BIOS features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode. -
