1.3 Brief Description of the IMP-A1x0
The power-optimized IMP-A1x0 systems deliver robust performance-per-watt as an embedded HMI.
The systems are powered by an Intel Atom™N270 1.6 GHz processor.
They come with a CompactFlash slot, 2.5”hard disk drive, DDR2 memory, 3 serial ports, 4 USB
ports, 2 Gigabit LAN ports, audio and a wide range 11~32VDC power input.
The ‘T’models are equiped with an analog resistive touch screen while the ‘GT’models come with
a GFG (Glass-Film-Glass) touch screen.
GFG touch screens are not only resistant to scratch and abrasion but also to most chemicals.
Apart from that, glass is transparent and does not impair the brilliance of the picture at all.

IMP-A1x0T User Manual 15

DRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
You may set the delay period between CAS and RAS signal for DRAM read & write or refreshing.
Shorter delay means quicker response, while longer delay means more stable performance. Options
are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Auto.
DRAM RAS Precharge
If number of cycles is not sufficient enough to ensure that RAS saves its instructions before
DRAM refreshing, it may cause incomplete refreshing and the DRAM will fail to maintain its data.
Faster precharge means quicker response, while slower precharge means more stable performance.
This item is only valid when a SDRAM is installed.
Options are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Auto.
Precharge Delay (t RAS)
Options are: Auto and 4~15.

System BIOS Cacheable
If set to Enabled, the feature will enable the caching of BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh for better
system performance. However, if any program writes into this memory area, it will result in a system
error. Options are: Enabled and Disabled.
Chapter 2: BIOS Setup
Memory Hole At 15M-16M
This feature will decrease your memory by 1M and allow the few old ISA cards that require this
memory to work properly on your system. Options are: Enabled and Disabled.
Video BIOS Cacheable
If set to Enabled, the feature will enable the caching of video BIOS ROM for better system
performance. However, if any program writes into this memory area, it will result in a system error.
Options are: Enabled and Disabled.
PCI Express Root Port Func
This item is used to configure PCI-E slot. For motherboards not equipped with PCI-E slot, such
configuration is not required. If set to Disabled, the slot and slot device will be disabled. For example,
onboard network adapter card can be disabled or enabled via PCI-E slot 1.
IMP-A1x0T User Manual 16

On-Chip Frame Buffer Size
This feature controls the amount of video memory allocated to integrated graphic card. The
system memory can be used as video memory.
DVMT Mode
Three options are available: "FIXED", "DVMT" and "Both (FIXED+DVMT)".
When set to "FIXED" mode, a fixed portion of the system memory will be allocated to GPU. Two
allocation sizes are available: 64MB and 128MB.
When set to "DVMT" Mode, the system will dynamically allocate system memory to GPU. In this
mode, up to 224MB of system memory can be allocated.
When set to "Both(FIXED+DVMT)" mode, the system will allocate a fixed memory of 64MB as
dedicated graphic memory, as well as allow a memory of 64MB to be dynamically allocated between
GPU and operating system.
DVMT/FIXED Memory Size
Refer to the previous item.
Boot Display
This feature is to select desired display device. VBIOS, LVDS1, VGA+LVDS1, LCDS2 and
VGA+LVDS2 can be selected as display device.
