1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: KINO-DAL
The KINO-DAL series is a Mini-ITX form factor single bard computer. It has an on-board
14nm Intel®Atom™, Pentium®or Celeron®processor, and supports two 204-pin
1867/1600 MHz dual-channel DDR3 Low Voltage (DDR3L) SDRAM SO-DIMM slots with
up to 8.0 GB of memory.
The KINO-DAL series includes one internal LVDS connector, one VGA connector and one
HDMI connectors for triple independent. Expansion and I/O include one PCIe x1 slot, one
PCIe Mini slot supporting WWAN modules, one M.2 B-key slot for expansion, four
USB 3.0 connectors on the rear panel, four USB 2.0 connectors by pin header and two
SATA 6Gb/s connectors. Serial device connectivity is provided by four internal RS-232
connectors and two external RS-232/422/485 connectors. Two RJ-45 GbE connectors
provide the system with smooth connections to an external LAN.
