| ETX modules can be utilized
as components by plugging into an application-specific
baseboard and putting the core CPU and subsystems together
with sound, SVGA, Ethernet and additional I/O. The module
connects to the rest of the embedded system through high-density,
low profile SMT connectors, which carry both ISA and PCI
bus signals as well as dedicated I/O interfaces. The mechanics
of the interconnection of an ETX/baseboard system is physically
the same height as a one-board solution. ETX modules are
interchangeable, allowing system designs to be scaleable.
Unique design of LAN placement:
In order to avoid any unwanted interruptions, IEI places
the LAN function on the baseboard, in order to provide
better performance and reliability. Therefore, the chip
and transformer won't be affected by noise signals in
communication.
