Note: some of above specified features are optional
The SBC-X270 is a standard PC/104+ compliant, single board computer. It is implemented by CM-X270 module providing most of the functions, including an integrated wireless LAN (WiFi) interface. The SB-X270 carrier board providing connectors and several additional functions. The rich features set of the SBC-X270 is customizable according to the price / performance targets of the user's application. 

The unique mechanical design of the SBC-X270 allows selecting between two popular form factors: either standard PC/104+ with headers, or extended PC/104+ with front panel connectors.

The SBC-X270 contains PC/104+ expansion connectors which open it to the wide range of standard peripheral cards. Furthermore, the SBC-X270 contains a electrical interface and slots for PCMCIA, CardBus and MMC/SDIO extension cards, which may be inserted and secured in the slot with no additional mechanical means, extending the system with capabilities such as a larger solid state disk, GPS or GSM modem.

SBC-X270 Features

The "SB Option" column specifies the P/N code of SB-X270 carrier board required to have the particular feature. The "CM Option" column specifies the P/N code of CM-X270 required to have the particular feature. SBC-X270 content is the combination of features provided by the attached CM-X270 and the features implemented on the SB-X270. To have the particular feature, both the CM and SB options of that feature must be implemented.
"+" means that the feature is always available, regardless of P/N code.
