EPIA-PE Operating Guide
VIA EPIA-PE Overview
The VIA EPIA-PE Mini-ITX Mainboard is an ultra compact native x86 platform optimized for today's demanding embedded and productivity applications. The mainboard is based on the VIA C3 EBGA processor featuring an embedded hardware MPEG-2 video decoding accelerator. Its integrated VIA UniChrome™ AGP graphics provide rich digital media performance. With the sizable memory bandwidth of DDR 266MHz DIMM and the high data transfer speeds of ATA-133 and further enhanced by support of 2-Channel AC’97 Codec, the VIA EPIA-PE delivers the increased performance levels required by today’s embedded digital media applications.
The latest in high-bandwidth connectivity features four USB 2.0 ports (and the ability to support up to 2 more USB ports using the available onboard pin headers), one COM port (and three COM pin headers), one FIR pin header, and two 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet port for extended broadband connectivity. The VIA EPIA-PE also has one PCI slot for expandability options. The VIA EPIA-PE is compatible with a full range of Mini-ITX chassis as well as FlexATX and MicroATX enclosures and power supplies.
The VIA EPIA-PE is fully compatible with Microsoft® and Linux operating systems and is available in a variety of configurations.
