PC Engines APU2E5 – System Board, 3x LAN, 4 GB RAM

PC Engines APU boards are small form factor system boards optimised for wireless routing and network security applications. APU2 is an evolution of the APU board with cooler running quad-core CPU, more robust Intel NICs and lower overall cost. It can be used for applications such as routers, firewalls, VOIP, dedicated servers, etc.

APU2E update: The size of the battery socket has been changed to avoid contact problems. Added signal integrity resistor for the core voltage control signal.
