⚠️ Important Notes

Triple Display Configuration (Key Feature):

Standard Board: Provides VGA + one HDMI output (dual display).
Enhanced Option: To enable triple independent display (VGA + two HDMI), you must select the specific board variant that includes the second HDMI port. Confirm this configuration at the time of order.

Serial Port Flexibility: The board offers significant serial port configurability:

Default: 2 x RS232 (DB9).
Optional Port Count: Can be configured for up to 4 x RS232 ports.
Optional Protocol: Can be configured for 2 x RS485 (typically instead of, not in addition to, the 4x RS232 option).

Specify your exact serial port requirements (count and protocol) when ordering.

USB Port Count & Power: With 9 USB ports available, be mindful of total power draw when connecting multiple bus-powered devices (e.g., external drives, scanners). Use a powered USB hub if necessary, and ensure the 12V DC power supply is adequate (recommended ≥ 75W).

M.2 SSD Compatibility: The M.2 Key-M slot supports both 2242 and 2280 length SSDs in SATA or PCIe NVMe formats. Verify your SSD’s physical and interface compatibility.

Graphics Driver & OS: For optimal triple-display functionality and stability, ensure you install the latest Intel® graphics drivers provided for the Elkhart Lake platform on your chosen operating system.

Thermal Considerations for Multi-Screen Use: Driving three displays simultaneously will increase GPU load and heat generation. While fanless, ensure the final system enclosure has adequate passive cooling, especially in ambient temperatures above 40°C.
