Series sourcing
Compare the IEI PM-LX2 standard and wide-temperature PC/104 ordering references. Use the practical guide to preserve exact identity, review replacement requirements and check a specific offered board. Availability is assessed separately.

These are legacy PC/104 single-board computers with AMD Geode LX 800 processors. Start with the installed ordering code and application; an identical processor name does not approve a different board.
Standard temperature
0 to +60 °C
Use this exact reference when the installed label and application specify the standard variant. An 800W request must retain its wider temperature requirement until explicitly reviewed.
Review PM-LX2-800-R10Wide temperature
−40 to +70 °C
The W ordering code identifies the wide-temperature variant in the OEM ordering table. Preserve W and R10 when requesting photos, evidence and sourcing options.
Review PM-LX2-800W-R10IEI marks the PM-LX2 family End of Life, effective 2022-09-02. The notice is a manufacturer lifecycle reference. It does not confirm that a seller has a board, that a listing is current, or that a replacement is suitable.
AMD Geode LX 800 at 500 MHz; AMD CS5536 chipset; 200-pin DDR SDRAM SO-DIMM up to 1 GB; 5 V DC supply; Realtek RTL8100C 10/100 Mbps Ethernet. The PM-LX2 datasheet gives 96 × 90 mm board dimensions. Check the mechanical drawing and actual connector arrangement for the installed assembly.
The combined datasheet places PM-LX2 and PM-LX beside each other. PM-LX2 uses PC/104; PM-LX is a separate PCI-104 reference. Do not copy BIOS, dimensions or expansion data across columns. The combined PDF lists the standard R10 ordering code; the separate OEM ordering page also identifies 800W and its temperature range.
Before accepting a candidate
A shared LX800 processor, a similar footprint or a seller's replacement label is not sufficient evidence of interchangeability.
Record the full MPN, PCB revision, installed PC/104 cards, connector positions, stack clearance and supply wiring. Compare the exact bus, mechanical drawing and pin assignments of any candidate.
Record BIOS identity/settings, boot medium, RAM, operating system and drivers, display connection and serial devices. Agree how the existing application will be tested before accepting a different identity.
State whether re-imaging, software changes, rewiring or mechanical changes are acceptable. Separate an exact replacement request from a planned migration. Technical acceptance requires application evidence and an agreed review scope.
Send one full ordering code, quantity, accepted condition, delivery country and required date. Under Add optional details, include the installed revision, machine/application, temperature requirement and whether only the same model is acceptable. Keep device data and unrelated commercial documents private. The form accepts text; uploads remain unavailable.
Exact requirement
For a missing original, read hard-to-find sourcing. For a changed identity, start with replacement review. For several modules, see BOM sourcing.
