Compliances and Certification
CE Certication
This product has passed the CE test for environmental
specifications. Test conditions for passing included the
equipment being operated within an industrial enclosure.
In order to protect the product from being damaged by
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI leakage, we strongly
recommend the use of CE-compliant industrial enclosure
products.
FCC Class A Certication
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense.

Thank you for choosing the VES-270. The VES-270 is
Lanner’s flagship COM Express R2.0 Type 6 module.
It features the new Core i7/i3 processors with QM77
chipset.
This COM Express module provides a rich I/O capabilities
via high-bandwidth interfaces such as PCI Express, Serial
ATA 2.0/3.0, and Hi-Speed USB 2.0/3.0 connectivity.
Other I/O capabilities include general-purpose I/O
(GPIO), SMbus, and displays supporting LVDS, HDMI, DVI
and DisplayPort as well as Intel® 82579LM (PHY) Gigabit
Ethernet.

Note: This feature is not applicable for Windows
XP.
Due to the hardware design of VES-270 and VES-8X6, the
onboard HDMI interface supported by DDPC and Display
Port is supported by DDPD. DDPB is connected to Digital
Display Interface (DDI), and it could support HDMI/DVI/
