The MI996 Mini-ITX motherboard is powered by the latest 9th Gen Intel® Xeon® E and Core™ processors. Designed for a wide array of applications such as medical, industrial automation and kiosks, it supports integrated GPU and PCI-E x16 for discrete graphics card to run simultaneous displays in four video outputs: eDP, HDMI (2.0a), Display Port and DVI-D.

 MI996 Mini-ITX motherboard

The compact MI996 is suitable for space-constrained applications and packs powerful functionality into a compact Mini-ITX form factor (170mm x 170mm). Enhanced I/O connectivity and expansion comprises six USB 3.1, four USB 2.0, four serial ports, four 4x SATA III, a Mini PCI-E, as well as two M.2 slots for NVMe storage and CNVi WiFi or Bluetooth connections. It features two Gigabit LAN and up to 32GB of DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM memory (ECC and non-ECC) for high-performance computing.

Two model series of MI996 are available with the Intel CM246, QM370, and HM370 chipsets to support a range of Intel processors. Other advanced features include a watchdog timer, Digital I/O, iAMT (11.6) remote management, TPM (2.0) security, iSMART (3.8) green technology, and vPRO (MI996VF series). By consolidating superior performance, versatility and scalability, the MI996 enables system integrators to deliver a highly optimized embedded solution to their customers.
