Technical Summary
The Quanta GD3 Main Board is an Arrandale platform motherboard featuring an Ibex Peak-M HM55/PM55 PCH. Graphics are handled by a discrete NVIDIA N11M-GE1 GPU with dedicated VRAM. The system uses two unbuffered DDR3 SODIMM slots supporting 800/1066 MHz memory at 1.5V. The embedded controller is a WPC775, and the BIOS is stored on a SPI flash device. Audio is provided by an ALC275 codec. Power management is handled by multiple ICs including the ISL62882 for CPU core, PM6686 for 3VPCU and 5VPCU, OZ8111LN for VCC1.05, and MAX17028 for VCC_CFXCORE. Networking includes an Atheros AR8131M Gigabit LAN controller and an Intel Puma Peak 2x2 AGN WiFi Link 6200 module. A T77H114.11 charging IC manages battery power, and a TCS5B card reader is present. The board also includes a 2MG USB hub controller and TMDSTMDS HDMI level shifting.
