This embedded Thin Mini-ITX motherboard is built around the Intel® Processor N97, delivering balanced x86 performance for industrial control, automation, and embedded computing tasks. Its fanless design eliminates moving parts, improving reliability and reducing maintenance in continuous-operation environments.
The board supports DDR5 SO-DIMM memory and offers flexible storage options via SATA III and M.2 Key-M, allowing system builders to tailor performance and capacity to their application. With dual Intel® 2.5GbE LAN, multiple USB interfaces, and up to six COM ports, the platform is well suited for industrial communication, legacy device integration, and peripheral connectivity.
Operating on a wide 12–24 V DC input and supporting an operating temperature range of 0 °C to +60 °C, this industrial motherboard is ideal for embedded systems deployed in control cabinets, kiosks, and factory environments.
