ITOX Announces New Mini-ITX Motherboard
New Product Features Intel® Q35 Express Chipset
EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - May 5, 2008 - ITOX, a leading provider of embedded x86 products,
today announced the introduction of a new Mini-ITX motherboard utilizing the Intel® Q35
Express chipset and ICH9 I/O controller hub. The BL100-N Mini-ITX board addresses the key
requirements of embedded computing designs - Cost, Revision-Stability and Long-Term
Availability. The LGA 775 socket accepts lower-cost desktop processors, including Intel®
Celeron® 400 series processors, Intel® CoreTM2 Duo processors, Intel® CoreTM2 Quad
processors and 45nm technology processors. It also supports Intel® Enhanced Memory 64
Technology (EMT64T) and Enhanced Intel® Speedstep Technology (EIST), required by high-
performance and low-power applications.
In addition, the chipset on The BL100-N incorporates an updated Graphics Memory Controller
Hub (GMCH), providing higher-performance at lower-power. With a 13 watt thermal design
power (TDP), the Q35 Express chipset provides a 50 percent power savings over the Intel®
Q965 Express chipset. Using a standard 240-pin DDR2 DIMM socket, the BL-100-N supports
cost-effective 667MHz or 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM modules with a maximum of 2GB capacity.
The onboard graphic features of the BL100-N include the integrated Intel® GMA3100 graphics
engine with up to 384MB of memory. A VGA graphics port provides up to 2048x1536 at 75 Hz
resolution, supporting applications such as medical imaging, security & surveillance, and digital
signage. The onboard LVDS DFP interface provides dual-display capability for LCD panels with
up to UXGA (1600x1200) resolution (18-bit or 24-bit). Six-channel 5.1 audio support is provided
using a Realtek ALC662 High Definition audio CODEC with 24-bit audio output.
Other significant BL100-N features include 4 SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces, providing transfer
speeds up to 3Gb/s. Additional performance increases are realized through the incorporation of
Intel® Quiet System technology, which regulate system and processor fan speeds for increased
noise reduction, and Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d) and improved
I/O virtualization system reliability and security.
