The ultra-compact and highly integrated VIA EPIA-P700 Pico-ITX
mainboard is the smallest form-factor available today. Through a high
level of integration, the Pico-ITX form factor is 75% smaller than MiniITX form factor. The mainboard enables the creation of an exciting new
generation of small, ergonomic, innovative and affordable embedded
systems. The mainboard comes with an integrated VIA C7® NanoBGA2
or fanless VIA Eden processor, boasting of ultra-low power consumption
and cool operation.

The VIA EPIA-P700 Pico-ITX mainboard is packaged with a standard VIA
C7® 1.0 GHz NanoBGA2. The VIA C7® 1.0 GHz processor requires a
heatsink with fan to provide sufficient cooling.
CPU Fan
The CPU fan runs on +5V and maintain CPU cooling. When connecting
the wire to the connector, always be aware that the red wire (positive
wire) should be connected to the +5V. The black wire is Ground and
should always be connected to GND.
The VIA EPIA-P700 Pico-ITX mainboard provide one SODIMM slot for
DDR2 667/533 MHz SDRAM memory modules and supports memory
sizes up to 1GB.
Note:
