Chapter 1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
FS-A74 the 2nd Generation Intel of the PICMG1.3 Full-size CPU Card motherboard,
supports 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7, Core™ i5, Core™ i3 and Pentium/Xeon ®
Desktop Processor and features Intel Q67 chipset, integrated HD Graphics, DDR3
memory, REALTEK High Definition Audio, SerialATA and Intel Gigabit LAN.
Intel®FCLGA1155 processor
The Intel®I3/I5/I7/Pentium/Xeon®
processor now comes with a new form factor with
1155-pin FCLGA package, for 1066/1333MHz front-side-bus, 12MB L2 cache, for 65nm
and 45nm manufacturing technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on solder
side can make user installing the processor on the socket easier.
Intel®Q67 PCH chipset
The Intel Q67 integrates DDR3 1066/1333MHz for memory, and HD Graphic technology
for new graphic engine. The Q67 integrates with up to 8 USB2.0 interfaces, and serial
ATAII interface with RAID function.
