VIA VB7007 Overview

The VIA VB7007 Mini-ITX mainboard is a compact native x86 platform for POS and kiosk
applications. The mainboard is based on the VIA CN700 chipset featuring the VIA UniChrome™ Pro
II IGP with 2D/3D graphics and video accelerators for rich digital media performance.

The VIA VB7007 onboard VIA C7 processor is a powerful, secure, and efficient processor with its
included VIA Padlock Security Engine, VIA CoolStream™ Architecture, VIA StepAhead™ Technology
Suite, and VIA TwinTurbo™ technology.

The VIA VB7007 delivers the performance levels with its included sizeable support of up to 1 GB of
533 MHz DDR2 memory and native support for SATA 3Gb/s storage devices. High-bandwidth
connectivity is supported with the included eight USB 2.0 ports and two Fast Ethernet LAN ports1
on the back panel. Four additional USB 2.0 ports are available through the onboard pin
connectors.

The VIA VB7007 is fully compatible with Microsoft® and Linux operating systems and is available in
a variety of configurations.

Power Specifications

The VIA VB7007 mainboard utilizes an industry standard 20-pin ATX power connector for
connecting to the power supply. Due to its ultra low power requirements, a 90 – 120 Watt ATX
power supply is ample for even the heaviest of multimedia system applications.
