Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
The ETX®-CD is built around the Intel Core Duo processors that use the Yonah and Merom Core and the
Mobile Intel 945GME Express chipset, which is the first mobile platform to offer PCI Express functionality
with extended life cycle support. These modules feature the most current desktop features such as USB,
SATA, and PCI buses.
The ETX®-CD delivers up to 2GHz performance and up to 2GB DDR2 RAM. For applications that require
advanced real-time video capabilities, the ETX®-CD has integrated graphics based on the Intel®
Graphics Media Accelerator 900 architecture.
The ETX®-CD supports 4 PCI 32-bit PCI devices. A 10/100 megabits per second Ethernet port provides
fast connectivity to LAN/WAN and 4x USB interface provides fast and sufficient interfaces for external
peripherals.
ETX®-CD modules also provide the following interfaces that are always located in the same physical
position on each board:
PCI32, USB, serial ATA (SATA), parallel ATA (PATA), LVDS Multi Media ports, as well as an ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface) for optimized power management are available on the board. Six
mounting holes on the board provide secure mounting to allow the module increased shock and
vibration resistance.
