1Introduction
1.1Description
The Express-CB and Express-CBE are COM Express™ COM.0 R1.0 Type 2 modules
supporting the 64-bit Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processor with CPU, memory controller, and
graphics processor on the same chip. Based on the latest Mobile Intel® QM57 Express
chipset, the Express-CB is specifically designed for customers who need high-level
processing and graphics performance in a long product life solution.
The Express-CB features the Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processor supporting Intel® Hyper-threading
Technology (2 cores, 4 threads) and up to 8GB of DDR3 dual-channel memory at 1066 MHz
(EEC on Express-CBE) to provide excellent overall performance. Intel® Flexible Display
Interface and Direct Media Interface provide high speed connectivity to the Intel® QM57
Express chipset.
Integrated graphics includes features such as OpenGL 2.1, DirectX10, and Intel® Dynamic
Video Memory Technology (Intel® DVMT 5.0). Graphics outputs include VGA, LVDS and
Embedded DisplayPort. The Express-CB is specifically designed for customers with highperformance processing graphics requirements who want to outsource the custom core logic
of their systems for reduced development time.
The Express-CB has dual stacked SODIMM sockets for up to 8 GB DDR3 memory. The Intel®
Mobile QM57 Express chipset integrates VGA and single/dual-channel 18/24-bit LVDS
display output. In addition to the onboard integrated graphics, a multiplexed PCI Express®
x16 Graphics bus is available for discrete graphics expansion, Embedded DisplayPort, or
general purpose x8, x4 or x1 PCI Express® connectivity.
The Express-CB features a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port, up to eight USB 2.0 ports and
four SATA 3 Gb/s ports with optional support for RAID 0/1/5/10. Additional storage interfaces
include an optional SATA based Solid State Disk (8/16/32 GB), and a single IDE (PATA)
channel. Legacy support is also provided for 32-bit PCI, LPC, SMBus and I2C. The module is
equipped with an AMI EFI BIOS with CMOS backup, supporting embedded features such as
remote console, CMOS backup, hardware monitor, and watchdog timer.
The Express-CB is a RoHS compliant and lead-free product.

Embedded DisplayPort (eDP)
DisplayPort is a VESA interface standard for digital display . It defines a new license-free, royalty-free, stateof-the-art digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display
monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system. It features 1.62 Gb/s and 2.7 Gb/s transfer rates over 1,
2 or 4 data lanes, 8b 10b coding, Hot-Plug detect support and HDCP support. Embedded DisplayPort does
not offer all features of standard DisplayPort because embedded applications do not require features such
as link training, hot plug detection or logo testing. The eDP standard supports one data pair supporting
XGA (1024x768) over two wires. Optionally 4 wires can be used for two data pairs to support 1280x1024.

2.10Power Consumption
The 12V measurement is power to the module only (excluding carrier board
power draw). The 5Vsb measurement (in S3/S5 mode) includes both module
power consumption plus active 5Vsb powered peripherals (such as PS/2
and USB) on the carrier that are needed for wakeup. Although all voltages
were measured, only 12 V and 5 VSB are relevant because they are the
only ones used by the Express module. The Idle power level was measured
under Windows XP with no applications running (login screen). Max Load
was measured under Windows XP running BurnIn software. Measurements
were made with two 1GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SODIMM memory modules installed.
