ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit
board assemblies including Connect Tech carrier
assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety
precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include,
but are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded
metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be
present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which
may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap
stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact
with components.

Introduction
Connect Tech’s Xtreme/GPU brings exceptional desktop-level graphics, outstanding multimedia features, and
GPU processing power to the PCIe/104 form factor; with the ability to select either AMD or NVIDIA
graphical solutions.
Connect Tech’s AMD version of the Xtreme/GPU is a high end graphics unit, used to drive up to four video
connections for either independent use, or leveraging AMD Eyefinity technology, as a single large surface. On-
board passive circuitry allows for the use of HDMI, or Dual-Mode DisplayPort, enabling the use of DVI
dongles if DisplayPort or HDMI is not preferred.
With Connect Tech’s NVIDIA solution, the Xtreme/GPU transforms into a processing powerhouse. With
access to the NVIDIA CUDA™ Cores, the GPU can become a parallel computational CPU for non-graphical
applications.
