What is Embedded ATX?

Embedded ATX form factor, also referred to as emb ATX, was designed to satisfy the needs of applications which require a motherboard with a constrained height. Similar to the microATX, the embedded ATX form factor has a fairly large (244mm x 244mm) dimension. It was designed with two goals in mind. The first goal was to develop a form factor for low profile applications. Secondly create the lowest cost solution possible. The main benefits of the embedded ATX single board computer is that is accommodates current processor technologies combined with an ATX family backwards compatible rear I/O panel as well as a low profile PCI expansion via a riser card. The riser card allows the PCI card to sit parallel with the embedded ATX board. The most common operating systems (OS) that are supported include the Windows family (98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, XPe, even CE.Net), several Linux OS, SCO Unix and QNX.

Since the embedded ATX is fairly large it can provide lots of functionality for example, it is great for multimedia applications that are graphics intensive. The Embedded ATX is also best suited for applications such as industrial automation, factory automation, medical systems, and point of sales (POS).
