II.Introduction
2.1 Product Description
The CT-MHW0X is a single board computer in the Micro-ATX form factor. Its
LGA1150 socket is for Intel®4th Generation Core i7/i5/i3/Celeron processor,
which is with the new 22 nm process technology. The four 240-pin DIMM
sockets are for dual channel DDR3/DDR3L 1333/1600MHz memory with
maximum capacity up to 32GB. The HD graphic controller integrated within the
processor works with the Intel®Q87/H81 PCH to support three independent
displays. The Intel®Q87/H81 PCH implements Flexible I/O, a technology to
allow high speed signals to be configured as PCIe, USB3.0, or SATA signals.
Besides, the CT-MHW0X provides Gigabit Ethernet, USB2.0, COM, GPIO,
PCI Expressx16, and mini PCI-Express expansion for variety industrial
applications.
