Product Description

The MI900 Mini-ITX motherboard is designed for either the Intel

Core2 Duo or IntelPentiumD processors of up to 1066MHz

FSB. It is based on the Intel’s Q965 Express chipset and it comes

with two single-channel DDR2 memory slots and 4GB memory

capacity for faster system responsiveness and support of 64-bit

computing. The new IBASE motherboards are aimed for high

performance PCs in the digital, communications and industrial

sector.

On board is one PCI Express x16 slot that offers up to 3.5X the

bandwidth over traditional PCI architecture to support the latest

high-performance graphics cards. Dual independent display

comes to life with the onboard IntelQ965 integrated graphics for

CRT and an optional SDVO card supporting either an LVDS or

DVI display interface. LAN functionality is supported with a 10/100

Ethernet controller or with two Gigabit Ethernet controllers.

MI900 is expandable for 8x2 pins pin header for adaptor card

ID394 that support 2 or 4 serial ports, or ID395 that support TPM

1.2 for security function. Other useful features on the board

include four SATA II ports, six USB 2.0 interface, watchdog timer,

digital I/O and two serial ports. Board dimensions are 170mm by

170mm. (Note: CPU power consumption – under 95watt

recommended.)

INSTALLATIONS

Installing the CPU

The MI900 motherboard supports an LGA 775 processor socket for

Intel® Core 2 Duo processors.

The LGA 775 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the

processor. Refer to the pictures below, from left to right, on how to place

the processor into the CPU socket. Please note that the cover of the

LGA775 socket must always be installed during transport to avoid

damage to the socket.

ATX Power Installation

The system power is provided to the motherboard with the ATX1 and

ATX2 power connectors. ATX1 is a 24-pin power connector and ATX2

is a 4-pin 12V power connector.

The 24-pin power connector can to be connected to a standard 20-pin

ATX power connector in a standard ATX power supply (Min. 400watt).

Note: The power supply 5VSB voltage must be at least 2A.
