NuPRO-E340
Serial ATA
The NuPRO-E340 provides six Serial ATA ports with data transfer
rates of up to 6.0 GB/s on 2 ports and up to 3.0 GB/s on 4 ports.
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology supports AHCI and RAID
0/1/5/10 functionality.
Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0/3.0)
The NuPRO-E340 provides 12 USB 2.0 ports supporting transfer
rates up to 480 Mb/s and two USB 3.0 ports on the rear panel I/O
supporting transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s (ASM1042 controller via
PCIe). All ports are USB 2.0/1.1 compatible.
Hardware monitoring
A built-in, proactive hardware monitoring system in the Super I/O
monitors the CPU temperature, system fan speed, and voltage
levels to prevent overheating and/or component damage, effect
timely failure detection, and ensure stable supply of current for
critical components.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on
user-defined configurations. The WDT can be programmed for dif-
ferent time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to
255 minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset
request, after failure to strobe it within the programmed time
period. A register bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog
timer caused the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during
the power-on sequence to enable the operating system to take
appropriate action when the watchdog generates a reboot.
Trusted Platform Module
The NuPRO-E340 optionally supports TPM ver. 1.2 (Trusted Plat-
form Module) for secure storage of keys, passwords and digital
NOTE: NOTE:
The USB 3.0 ports cannot be used to install Windows as the
necessary drivers are currently not included with the OS. Linux
kernels 2.6.31 and higher can be installed using the USB 3.0
ports.
