1.1 PM-US15W Introduction
Figure 1–1: PM-US15W
The PCI-104 form factor PM-US15W is a highly integrated embedded computer
specifically optimized for multi-media applications requiring minimum installation space.
The PM-US15W is particularly suitable for low power and fan-less applications. The
PM-US15W supports a full range of functions for an AT compatible industrial computer in
a space-saving 90mm x 96mm profile. The PM-US15W is equipped with an on-board
low-power consumption and high performance Intel® Atom™ Z510 1.1 GHz or Z530 1.6
GHz processor. It also contains a DDR2 SO-DIMM socket that supports up to 2 GB
memory in size.
