Introduction 1
1. Introduction
The Express-KL/KLE is a COM Express® COM.0 R2.1 Basic Size Type 6 module supporting the 64-bit 7th
Generation Intel® Core™ and Xeon® processor E3 (codename “Kaby Lake-H”) with Mobile Intel® QM175, HM175,
CM238 Chipset. The Express-KL/KLE is specifically designed for customers who need excellent graphics
performance and high-level processing performance in a long product life solution.
The Express-KL/KLE features Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (up to 4 cores, 8 threads) and DDR4 dual-
channel memory at 2133/2400 MHz with ECC/non-ECC support determined by CPU/chipset combination to
provide excellent overall performance. Intel® Flexible Display Interface and Direct Media Interface provide high
speed connectivity from the CPU to the Intel® QM175, HM175, CM238 Chipset.
Integrated Intel® Generation 9 Graphics includes features such as OpenGL 4.4/4.3/4.2, DirectX 11, Intel® Clear
Video HD Technology, Advanced Scheduler 2.0, 1.0, XPDM support, and DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA)
support for full H.265/HEVC 10-bit, MPEG2 hardware codec. In addition, High Dynamic Range is supported for
enhanced picture color and quality and digital content protection has been upgraded to HDCP 2.2. Graphics
outputs include LVDS and three DDI ports supporting HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort and eDP as a build option. The
Express-KL/KLE is specifically designed for customers with high-performance processing graphics requirements
who want to outsource the custom core logic of their systems for reduced development time.
The Express-KL/KLE has dual stacked SODIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of DDR4 ECC/non-ECC memory.
In addition to the onboard integrated graphics, a multiplexed PCIe x16 graphics bus is available for discrete
graphics expansion. Input/output features include a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port, eight PCIe x1 Gen3 lanes,
USB 3.0 ports and USB 2.0 ports, and SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Support is provided for SMBus and I2C. The module is
equipped with SPI AMI EFI BIOS with CMOS backup, supporting embedded features such as remote console,
hardware monitor, and watchdog timer.
