6Introduction
1.6 Functional Description
Processor Support
The MI-220 is a Mini-ITX embedded board featuring the 2nd gen-
eration Intel® Core™ processor family (Intel® Core™i7/i5/i3) in
rPGA988B package. An integrated memory controller supports
dual channel 1066/1333 MHz DDR3 and Intel® HD Graphics is
integrated onboard the CPU. The CPU provides a PCI Express
x16 slot for external graphics or expansion. Direct Media Interface
(DMI) and Flexible Display Interface (FDI) provide connectivity to
the Mobile Intel® QM67 Express Chipset.
Mobile Intel® QM67 Express Chipset
The Intel® BD82QM67 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) combine
with the processor to provide a compact yet powerful 2-chip solu-
tion. Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection
between the processor and PCH. Intel® Flexible Display Interface
carries display traffic from the integrated graphics on the proces-
sor to the legacy display interfaces on the PCH. The PCH sup-
ports all other required interfaces including PCI Express, SATA 6
Gb/s, USB 2.0, LPC, and SPI.
Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory
To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
MI-220 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting DDR3
1066/1333 MHz SO-DIMMs. The key advantages of DDR3 are
higher bandwidth and increased performance at lower power than
DDR2. DDR3 memory technology meets the requirements of the
latest 3D graphics, multimedia and network applications, and
boosts system performance by eliminating bottlenecks.
Gigabit Ethernet
The MI-220 utilizes an Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet PHY and
Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller connected to the PCIe
bus of the QM67 PCH. Intel® AMT 7.0 (82579LM on LAN1),
Wake-on-LAN and PXE are supported.

Introduction 7
MI-220
Serial ATA
The MI-220 provides three SATA ports with data transfer rates of
up to 6.0 GB/s on 2 ports and up to 3.0 GB/s on 1 port. Intel®
Rapid Storage Technology supports AHCI and RAID 0/1/5/10
functionality.
USB 2.0
The MI-220 provides 6 USB 2.0 ports supporting transfer rates up
to 480 Mb/s. All ports are USB 1.1 compatible.
Hardware Monitoring
A built-in, proactive hardware monitoring system in the Super I/O
monitors the CPU temperature, system fan speed, and voltage
levels to prevent overheating and/or component damage, effect
timely failure detection, and ensure stable supply of current for
critical components.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on
user-defined settings. The WDT can be programmed for different
time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to 255
minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset request,
after failure to strobe it within the programmed time period. A reg-
ister bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog timer caused
the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during the power-on
sequence to enable the operating system to take appropriate
action when the watchdog generates a reboot.
