Introduction 5
 1.5 Functional Description

Processor Support
The NuPRO-A331 is a single processor design for the latest Intel
Clarkdale (32nm) and Lynnfield (45nm) processors in LGA1156
socket (Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium® G6950). An integrated
memory controller supports dual channel 1066/1333 MHz DDR3
and integrated Intel® HD Graphics is supported on dual core
32nm (Clarkdale) processors. Direct Media Interface (DMI) and
Flexible Display Interface (FDI) provide connectivity to the Intel®
Q57 Express Chipset.

Intel® Q57 Express Chipset

The Intel® BD82Q57 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) combines
with the processor to provide a compact yet powerful 2-chip solu-
tion. Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection
between the processor and PCH. Intel® Flexible Display Interface
carries display traffic from the integrated graphics in the processor
to the legacy display connectors in the PCH. The PCH supports all
other required interfaces including PCI Express, Serial ATA, USB
2.0, PCI, LPC, and SPI.

Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory

To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
NuPRO-A331 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting
DDR3 1066/1333 MHz DIMMs. The key advantages of DDR3 are
the higher bandwidth and the increase in performance at lower
power than DDR2. DDR3 memory technology meets the require-
ments of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and network applica-
tion, and boosts system performance by eliminating bottlenecks.

Gigabit Ethernet
The NuPRO-A331 utilizes two Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet
Controllers connected to the PCIe bus of the Q57 PCH.
Wake-on-LAN and PXE are supported.

6 Introduction
 NuPRO-A331

Serial ATA
The NuPRO-A331 provides six Serial ATA ports with data transfer
rates of up to 3.0 GB/s. Intel® Rapid Storage Technology supports
AHCI and RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0

The NuPRO-A331 provides eight USB 2.0 ports supporting trans-
fer speeds up to 480 Mbps. All ports are high-speed, fullspeed,
and low-speed capable.

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 a 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-A331 optionally supports TPM ver. 1.2 (Trusted Plat-
form Module) for secure storage of keys, passwords and digital
certificates. Systems supporting TPM offer improved hard-
ware-based security in numerous applications, such as file and
folder encryption, local password management, S-MIME e-mail,
VPN and PKI authentication and wireless authentication for
802.1x and LEAP.
