⚠️ Important Notes
CPU Compatibility: This motherboard supports Intel® Haswell/Broadwell-U series processors including Core™ i3/i5/i7, Pentium®, and Celeron® models. The board comes with Intel® Core™ i5-4300U processor installed. For CPU upgrades, ensure compatibility with the Haswell/Broadwell-U architecture.
Memory Configuration: Supports dual-channel DDR3L memory (1.35V). For optimal performance with supported processors, install identical memory modules in both slots. Maximum supported capacity is 16GB (2x8GB).
Power Supply Requirements: Use a stable, high-quality DC 12V ±5% power adapter with adequate current capacity. When using higher-performance i5/i7 processors, multiple displays, and all peripherals, ensure the power supply can deliver sufficient current (typically 5-7A recommended).
Thermal Management: This motherboard includes both CPU and system fan headers and is designed for active cooling. When using higher-performance processors (especially Core™ i5/i7 models), ensure adequate cooling solution is implemented, particularly when operating near the upper temperature limit (60°C).
Multi-Display Configuration: Supports VGA, HDMI, LVDS, and eDP displays simultaneously (varies by specific CPU graphics capabilities). Verify the display configuration requirements for your application, particularly when using multiple high-resolution displays.
Serial Port Configuration: Provides comprehensive serial connectivity with 6 RS232 ports (from description) and 2 COM ports supporting RS485 by default. Verify specific port assignments and RS485 support requirements for your industrial communication needs.
Storage Options: Includes both mSATA and SATA 3.0 interfaces for flexible storage configurations. For industrial applications, consider industrial-grade storage solutions rated for wide-temperature operation and extended durability.
