1.1 Introduction
NANO-9452 EPIC Motherboard
Figure 1-1:
The NANO-9452 EPIC form factor CPU card is a Socket 479 Intel® Core Duo or Socket
479 Intel® Core Solo CPU platform. The NANO-9452 has a maximum front side bus (FSB)
frequency of 667MHz and comes with a VGA interface and dual PCI Express (PCIe)
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE). The NANO-9452 supports up to two, second-generation serial
ATA (SATA) hard disk drives (HDD) with maximum transfer rates of 1.5 Gb/s and up to six
USB 2.0 devices. The NANO-9452 also has a PCI-104 socket and a Mini PCI Express
(PCIe) socket for system expansion. Multiple display support adds versatility to the system
enabling system integrators and designers increased flexibility in selecting display panel
options.
