This document contains block diagrams that summarize the key components and interfaces of an IPC2 system. It includes diagrams of the memory interface with dual DDR3 slots, SATA interface, mini PCIe/mSATA configuration, PCIe interface scheme, USB interface, and serial connectivity. The central processor is an Intel 4th generation Core CPU and the chipset is an Intel Lynx Point PCH.
