Due to the correction code, congatec claim that the memory module can detect and correct single and multi bit errors. The company says it can ensure maximum reliability, making it ideal for demanding applications in medical technology, server systems and the aviation industry.
The module is 95 x 125 mm in size and is said to include five PCI express lanes, eight USB 2.0 ports, three SATA, one EIDE and a Gigabit Ethernet interface, allowing flexible system expansion at high data bandwidths. It also has a fan controller and LPC bus, as well as Intel High Definition Audio.
According to congatec, the BE57 is based on the Intel Celeron U3405 processor (2MB Cache, 1.07 GHz, TDP 18 Watt) or the Intel Core i7-610E processor (4MB Cache, 2.53 GHz, TDP 25 Watt), depending on the application. The module uses the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset, which claims to provide support for up to 8GB (1066 MT/s) Dual Channel DDR3 SODIMM ECC memory.
The integrated graphics controller reportedly supports the Intel Flexible Display Interface (FDI), enabling two independent video channels on VGA, LVDS, HDMI, SDVO and DisplayPort interfaces.
