1.1 NANO-LX CPU Board Overview
Figure 1-1: NANO-LX EPIC SBC
The EPIC form factor NANO-LX AMD® Geode™ LX800 is a highly-integrated embedded
computer specifically optimized for multi-media applications requiring minimum installation
space. The NANO-LX is particularly suitable for low power and fan-less applications. The
NANO-LX supports a full range of functionality for an AT/ATX-compatible industrial
computer in a space-saving 3.5” profile. The NANO-LX is equipped with an on board
low-power consumption and high performance AMD® Geode™ LX800 processor. It also
contains a DDR SO-DIMM socket that supports up to 1GB memory in size.
1.1.1 NANO-LX CPU Board Applications
The NANO-LX SBC has been designed for use in industrial applications where board
expansion is critical and operational reliability is essential.
1.1.2 NANO-LX CPU Board Benefits
Some of the NANO-LX SBC benefits include,
operating reliably in harsh industrial environments with ambient temperatures
as high as 60°C
rebooting automatically if the BIOS watchdog timer detects that the system is
no longer operating

1.1.3 NANO-LX CPU Board Features
Some of the NANO-LX SBC features are listed below:
Complies with RoHS
Supports AMD® GeodeLX800 500 MHz CPU
Supports up to 1GB of 400/333 MHz single channel DDR memory
Comes with one high performance gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controller
Supports two SATAchannels with transfer rates up to 150 MB/s and RAID 0, 1
support
