When combined with Intel Core microarchitecture - based processors on 32nm and 45nm process technology, the Intel Q57 chipset provides advancements in graphics, security and remote manageability for embedded applications. These platforms are ideal for developing high-performance systems for industrial control and automation, retail, gaming, print imaging and digital signage.The Intel Q57 chipset supports error correcting code (ECC) memory, correcting memory errors without requiring system reset. This capability enhances performance, system uptime and autonomous operation for remote embedded applications. The platform also supports Intel vPro technology with the Intel Core i5-660 or Intel Xeon processor series.This Q57 chipset-based Customer Reference Board (CRB) is an ATXbased platform designed to support Lynnfield / Clarkdale processors.The CRB features:* Dual Channel, ECC DDR3 800/1066/1333 with up to 3 DIMMs per channel* One Gigabit Ethernet controller with 82578 PHY* One 82574 Gigabit Ethernet controller/PHY* PCIe - (2) 1 x 8 lanes, (3) 1 x 4 lanes* PCI - 1 32 bit slot* 6 x SATA ports (4 internal, 2 headers) * Two 8250/16550 compatible serial ports (one external, one header)* 9 x USB 2.0/1.1 host mode ports (4 external, 5 headers)* SMC/KBC ACPI compliant board Management and Keyboard Controller* 1 x LPC interface* 2 x SPI Flash device (BIOS)* Battery-backed RTC* VGA graphics provided by iBMC device
