NANO-945GSE2
Figure 1-1: NANO-945GSE2
1.1.1 NANO-945GSE2 Introduction
The NANO-945GSE2 EPIC motherboards are embedded 45 nm Intel® Atom™ processor
platforms. The Intel® Atom™ processor N270 embedded on the NANO-945GSE2 has a
1.60 GHz clock speed, a 533 MHz FSB and a 512 KB L2 cache. The NANO-945GSE2
also supports one 200-pin 533 MHz 2.0 GB (max.) DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM. The
NANO-945GSE2 comes with an 18-bit dual-channel LVDS connector and a 24-bit dual
channel TTL connector. Dual display, VGA and LVDS or VGA and TTL, is supported. The
NANO-945GSE2 also comes with two PCI Express (PCIe) Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
connectors, and a PC/104 Plus expansion slot.
1.2 NANO-945GSE2 Overview
The NANO-945GSE2 has a wide variety of peripheral interface connectors. 6 Figure 1-2 is
a labeled photo of the peripheral interface connectors on the NANO-945GSE2.

WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
NANO-945GSE2 may result in permanent damage to the
NANO-945GSE2 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the NANO-945GSE2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the NANO-945GSE2 or any other electrical component is
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband : Wearing a simple ant i-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding : Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad : When configuring the NANO-945GSE2, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
NANO-945GSE2.
Only handle the edges of the PCB : When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the NANO-945GSE2 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the NANO-945GSE2 does
not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
2.1.
2.3 are present.
