1.1 Introduction
AAEON announces a brand new COM Express CPU module that
adopts the Intel®AtomTM processor N455 supported for
embedded applications. With the increasing demand for smaller,
lower-power, yet higher-performance embedded solutions, the
NanoCOM-LN brings the state-of-the-art technology of the Intel®
AtomTM processor to the embedded world.
The Intel®AtomTM processor N455 supports Intel®
Hyper-Threading Technology and features an integrated graphics
controller (GMA 3150) along with a built-in memory controller
reducing the chipset footprint. NanoCOM-LN utilizes the Intel®
82801HM I/O Controller (ICH8M) to create a feature-rich platform
and the Intel®82567V Gigabit Ethernet Controller for Gigabit
Ethernet connection. One parallel IDE and three SATA 3.0 Gb/s
interfaces allow flexible storage options. Five PCI-Express[x1]
lanes, as well as LPC, SMBus and I2C provide versatile
expansion interfaces. This multitude of expansion interfaces
allows system integrators to easily expand their embedded
systems.

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
