1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: HYPER-AL
The HYPER-AL series is a single bard computer in Pico-ITX form factor. It has an
on-board 14nm Intel®Celeron®N3350 processor, and supports one 204-pin
1867/1600 MHz single-channel DDR3 Low Voltage (DDR3L) SDRAM SO-DIMM slot with
up to 8.0 GB of memory.
The HYPER-AL series includes one HDMI connector and one 18-bit/24-bit LVDS
connector for display. Two RJ-45 GbE connectors provide the system with smooth
connections to an external LAN.
Expansion and I/O include two M.2 slots, two USB 3.0 connectors on the rear panel, two
USB 2.0 connectors by pin header and one SATA 6Gb/s connector. Serial device
connectivity is provided by the internal RS-232 connector.
