Introduction
The APOLLO is an EBX format, high-performance, high-functionality PC-compatible
processor board designed for embedding into OEM equipment. The board is based on
the Intel 855GME/ICH4 chipset and supports a range of Intel Pentium M and Celeron M
mobile processors to offer a combination of high performance computing features with
low power dissipation.
It offers all standard features and connectors found on a PC motherboard including:
• Multiple video ports.
• Audio.
• Two Ethernet ports.
• CF+ CompactFlash
®
Type II socket.
• Four serial ports, parallel port, IrDA port.

• General purpose IO and user defined jumpers.
Gigabit Ethernet is a build option on the V1Ix board and a standard feature on the V2Ix
boards.
The board is able to run all popular operating systems including Windows XP/
XP Embedded and Linux.
Typical applications for the APOLLO include:
• Low power, high density server racks.
• 1U or 2U systems with passive cooling for fan-less operation.
• Systems requiring high levels of hardware/software security.
• Server/client systems using Trusted Computing.
• Compact kiosk systems.
The V1Ix board can be purchased in the following standard variants:
• Standard (two 10/100 Ethernet).
• Gigabit (one 10/100 Ethernet and one 10/100/1000 Ethernet).
• The V2Ix board is available as a single variant offering Gigabit Ethernet (1x 10/100
and one 10/100/1000 Ethernet, this also has a Trusted Platform module (TPM 1.2)
fitted as standard.
