1.7 Functional Description

Processor Support

The M-321 is a single processor design for the latest Intel York­field/Wolfdale/Conroe Processor family, starting from 1.8 GHz
core frequency up to 3.0 GHz. With one LGA775 socket, the CPU
connects with the Intel® Q45 MCH through the
800/1066/1333 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB).

Intel® Q45 + ICH10 Express Chipset

The Intel® Q45 Express chipset provides the vital interfaces for
the SHB. The Intel® Q45 comes with purpose-built capabilities
designed specifically to address the key needs of the industrial
computing environment and delivers improved system perfor­mance and comes with the integrated Intel® Graphics Media
Accelerator 4500 engine for cost-effective system building. The
chipset also supports high-bandwidth interfaces including PCI
Express, Serial ATA, and USB 2.0, as well as dual-channel DDR3
system memory.

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500

The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500 r evolutionizes
integrated graphics with new capabilities that provide significant
increase in graphics performance. With support for DirectX 10
hardware acceleration, Shader Model 4.0 and OpenGL 2.0, the
Intel GMA 4500 delivers excellent video and 3D graphics for a
cost-effective and high-performance graphics solution.

Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory

To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
M-321 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting DDR3
800/1066 MHz DIMMs. The key advantages of DDR3 are the
higher bandwidth and the increase in performance at lower power
than DDR2. DDR3 memory technology meets the requirements of
the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and network application, and
boosts system performance by eliminating bottlenecks.

8Introduction

M-321

Gigabit Ethernet

The M-321 uses two Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controllers
connected to the PCI-E x1 bus of the ICH10. Operation at data
rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps, wake on LAN and PXE are supported.

Serial ATA Technology

Storage is efficient and secure with the Serial ATA interface. Utiliz­ing the Intel® ICH10, the M-321 supports up to four Serial ATA
devices capable of reading/writing data at up to 3 Gbps. The
SATA specification improves chassis airflow via thinner and more
flexible cables with lower pin count.

Universal Serial Bus 2.0

The M-321 incorporates the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 speci­fication that increases peripheral connection speed from 12 Mbps
(USB 1.1) to 480 Mbps.

Hardware Monitoring

A built-in, proactive hardware monitoring system monitors the
CPU temperature, system fan rotations, and voltage levels to pre­vent overheating and/or component damage, effect timely failure
detection, and ensure stable supply of current for critical compo­nents.

Watchdog Timer

The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on
user-defined configurations. The WDT can be programmed for dif­ferent time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to
255 minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset
request, after failure to strobe it within the programmed time
period. A register bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog
timer caused the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during
the power-on sequence to enable the operating system to take
appropriate action when the watchdog generates a reboot.

Introduction 9

Trusted Platform Module

The M-321 supports TPM ver. 1.2 (Trusted Platform Module) for
secure storage of keys, passwords and digital certificates. Sys­tems supporting TPM offer improved hardware-based security in
numerous applications, such as file and folder encryption, local
password management, S-MIME e-mail, VPN and PKI authentica­tion and wireless authentication for 802.1x and LEAP.
