6Introduction
1.5 Functional Description
Processor Support
The NuPRO-A40H is PICMG 1.0 Single Board Computer support-
ing the 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processor family (Intel®
Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium®) in LGA1155 socket. An integrated
memory controller supports dual channel 1333/1600 MHz DDR3
and Intel® HD Graphics is integrated onboard the CPU. Direct
Media Interface (DMI) and Flexible Display Interface (FDI) provide
connectivity to the Intel® H61 Express Chipset.
Intel® H61 Express Chipset
The Intel® BD82H61 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) combines
with the processor to provide a compact yet powerful 2-chip solu-
tion. Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection
between the processor and PCH. Intel® Flexible Display Interface
carries display traffic from the integrated graphics in the processor
to the legacy display connectors in the PCH. The PCH supports all
other required interfaces including PCI Express, SATA 3 Gb/s,
USB 2.0, LPC, and SPI.
Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory
To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
NuPRO-A40H has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting
DDR3 1333/1600 MHz DIMMs. The key advantages of DDR3 are
the higher bandwidth and the increase in performance at lower
power than DDR2. DDR3 memory technology meets the require-
ments of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and network applica-
tion, and boosts system performance by eliminating bottlenecks.
Gigabit Ethernet
The NuPRO-A40H utilizes dual Intel® I211-AT Gigabit Ethernet
Controllers connected to the PCI-E bus of the H61 PCH.
Wake-on-LAN, PXE, and 9KB Jumbo Frames are supported.
