MI996
Advanced Mini-ITX Motherboard Engineered for High-Performance Embedded Solutions
The MI996 Mini-ITX motherboard, designed by iBase, harnesses the power of 9th Gen Intel® Xeon® E and Core™ processors to deliver a robust computing solution for applications spanning medical, industrial automation, and kiosks. This motherboard distinguishes itself by supporting integrated GPU capabilities and a PCI-E x16 slot for discrete graphics cards, enabling the operation of simultaneous displays across four video outputs: eDP, HDMI (2.0a), DisplayPort, and DVI-D. With a compact form factor of 170mm x 170mm, the MI996 efficiently addresses the needs of space-constrained environments while offering extensive I/O connectivity and expansion options, including USB 3.1, SATA III, Mini PCI-E, and dual M.2 slots for enhanced storage and wireless connectivity. The board's dual Intel® Gigabit LAN and support for up to 32GB DDR4 SO-DIMM memory ensure high-speed data processing and network reliability, complemented by advanced features like a watchdog timer, TPM (2.0), and remote management capabilities through iAMT (11.6).
