Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the NOVA-8522G2-R10 run Windows 10?
A: The Intel 852GM chipset does not have official Windows 10 drivers. Windows XP Embedded and Windows 7 (32-bit) are the recommended operating systems. Linux with kernel 2.6+ is also supported.
Q: Is the LVDS interface compatible with standard industrial panels?
A: Yes. The LVDS output supports single-channel 18/24-bit panels. A compatible LVDS cable and backlight inverter are required — contact us for panel-matching assistance.
Q: What is the maximum RAM supported?
A: The board supports up to 1 GB DDR SDRAM across two SO-DIMM slots (2× 512 MB).
Q: Can this board be used in a fanless enclosure?
A: Yes, with a low-TDP Celeron processor (e.g., 2.0 GHz or below) and a passive heatsink, fanless operation is achievable in environments up to 45°C ambient.
Q: Do you provide the original IEI manual and driver CD?
A: We provide a digital copy of the user manual and driver package download link with every order. Physical media is available on request.
Q: What is the difference between R10 and earlier revisions?
A: Revision R10 incorporates PCB-level improvements for enhanced EMI suppression and updated BIOS firmware supporting newer Pentium 4 Prescott-core CPUs.
