1.1 Introduction
The HSB-LN2I utilizes the Intel® Atom™D525/N455 and ICH8M
chipset, supporting Intel®Atom™D525 processor with a FSB of
800MHz up to 1.8GHz and Intel®Atom™N455 processor with a
FSB of 533MHz up to 1.66GHz. The HSB-LN2I with D525
supports DDR3 800MT/s SODIMM system memory up to 4 GB.
N455 supports DDR3 667MT/s SODIMM system memory up to 2
GB.
This model offers a multitude of I/O including two COM ports and
five USB2.0 ports. To meet today’s increasing storage demands it
also supports three SATA3.0 Gb/s, one Type 2 CompactFlash™to
share IDE channel, and one ATA100 sockets. The flexible
expansion and storage makes the HSB-LN2I a great solution for
your vital applications.
In addition to the comprehensive COM and USB offering the
HSB-LN2I can also be configured with two Gigabit Ethernet ports to
meet the needs of high bandwidth connectivity. Supporting CRT &
LCD simultaneously along with the optional high definition audio
board, the HSB-LN2I is an ideal solution for demanding multimedia
based applications.

2.1 Safety Precautions
Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis
