1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: NANO-ULT5
The NANO-ULT5 series is an EPIC form factor single bard computer. It has an on-board
8th generation 14nm Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 or Celeron® processor, and supports two
260-pin 2133/2400 MHz dual-channel DDR4 SDRAM SO-DIMM slots with up to 32.0 GB
of memory.
The NANO-ULT5 series includes a DisplayPort connector, a HDMI connector and an
18-/24-bit LVDS connector for triple independent display.
Expansion and I/O include one full-size PCIe Mini slot supporting 3G/4G modules, one
M.2 A-key slot and one M.2 M-key slot for expansions, four USB 3.1 Gen 2 connectors on
the rear panel, two USB 2.0 connectors by pin header and two SATA 6Gb/s connectors.
Serial device connectivity is provided by one external RS-232 connector, one internal
RS-232 connector and one internal RS-422/485 connector. Two RJ-45 GbE connectors
provide the system with smooth connections to an external LAN. One on-board SIM card
socket also supports for 3G/LTE expansion.
